Pale bright gold - such clarity. Nose giving little on first opening except faint herbal notes. With air aromas of Apricot and a touch of Lychee. Medium bodied and at 13% Alcohol fermented to dryness. The following night it had filled out even more on the palate - very flavoursome and delicious. Interestingly viticulture in Wachau goes back to the 5th Century. Must drink more Austrian Riesling.

Elegant, with layers of complex flavors. Fruit is delicate and refined, accentuated by robust minerality and bright acids. The long, spicy finish is icing on the cake. A fabulous wine. Might be the best riesling I've ever had.

2006 - more honeyed and advanced than others. While botrytis influence is usually minimal to zero in most years, this bottle shows some. Nowhere near as focused and precise as 2004. But still very delicious.
