Joh.Jos.Christoffel Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese 2004 0,75l

Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese from Joh, Jos, Christoffel is drawn from steep slate terraces on the middle Mosel planted with old ungrafted vines. The red, iron rich slate of the site gives particularly spicy and complex Rieslings. The bouquet offers honey, candied citrus, ripe apricot, exotic nuances and fine herbal notes. On the palate the Auslese is dense and silky, its generous sweetness carried by vibrant acidity. Slate driven minerality and a gentle smoky hint add depth and tension. The finish is very long, pure and resonant. A classic Mosel noble Riesling for special occasions, fine cheese, elegant desserts and fragrant Asian inspired dishes.
