Weingut Keller, Rheinhessen, Monsheimer Silberberg, Rieslaner Auslese, 2005
A rich, hedonistic nose, honeyed passion fruit flavored with caramelized cashews as well as spices courtesy of the botrytis. The palate is surprisingly and deceptively light-footed - it start out mellow before exploding on the finish, the flavors closely echoing the aromas. What I look for in mortal dessert wines: richness and complexity in a lithe framework.
