Another Great Riesling

Gunderloch “Jean Baptiste” 2003 Riesling Kabinett
$15.99
Shane’s Notes

The aroma is tropical, zesty and floral. The initial palate entry is floral and sweet. The mid-palate is juicy, concentrated and displays flavors of tropical fruit, apricot, citrus and a touch of honey. It is almost too sweet, yet it still seems to finish dry with just bit of spritz. We have never seen so much sugary detritus after finishing a bottle of wine: the bottoms of our glasses were coated with crystals and a trail of sugar inside the bottle led from the bottom to the top. We absolutely loved this Riesling. We can’t wait to try a 2003 spatlese or auslese.
