Jost a Fantastic Riesling

2004 Toni Jost Bacharacher Hahn Auslese

Shane’s Notes

This is a magnificent wine. The entry is sweet and the palate expands to reveal flavors of peach, pear, honeysuckle and floral notes with a hint of orange on the finish. A stony flavor quickly follows the concentrated mid palate but it does not signal the finish. After the stony flavor, the mid palate flavors echo for at least a minute. It is sweet, complex, has great balancing acidity and a long finish – it is a fantastic German Riesling.
