2003 Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Spatlese

[TheEngineer]

One word....WOW....

I'm not really a white wine person but this one really deserves attention.

I do not know how easy it is to find but it is worth it. Not expensive at $24, it is better than any Dr. Loosen product that I have tried upwards of $70.

A really nice nose but it is the wine's balance that really impresses. You know that there is a sweetness there and that there is acidity, but both are subtle and both are very balanced. It is a slender wine and there is a bit of carbonation due to the fact that it was young.

We opened up a few Dr Loosen 2003 Riesling Kabinetts and Auslese and neither could match up despite being pretty good in and of themselves.

If you are a riesling fan, I would highly recommend this one. I know that there are not a lot shipped but it is very much worth the effort.
