'04. Love the overall Alsatian-ness of this wine. Searing Riesling acid, but with ripe apricot and tangerine jelly, cheddar cheese, salt, powdered stone, mushroom, hay, yellow flower perfume and the ginger of botrytis. Has that tart but fat quality that Alsace does so well. Great now, but definitely more than a few years in it.
