An improvement over the last bottle

The Bandol wasn’t good enough, time for something that is definitely good!

Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Oberhäuser Brücke 2004, Helmut Dönnhoff

This smells really bright, fresh and fruity. Not much botrytis, but it does smell ripe. There is beautiful citric fruit and nutty minerality. The palate has good sweetness, balanced with fine acidity. It is really complex and long. The fruit is quite lovely. What a good bottle of wine!
