2002 Georg Breuer Nonnenberg Rheingau Riesling 12.5%
Rich nose of linden, honey, wet granite and something faintly herbal. First taste is a bracing burst of citric acidity, pleasantly tongue tingling, but with matching and perfectly balanced sweetness. Soon a light petrol note emerges, laced with caramel, with a slightly moldy, wet paper aftertaste. I enjoyed this wine immensely; it was both rich and lean, multifaceted and razor sharp, and intriguing because different, in sensation, from my usual diet of (mostly Mosel) rieslings. Lovely.
