2005 Riesling "Orbel",Großes Gewächs, Rheinhessen, Germany

Must pears and ripe stone fruit on the nose, light nutty and herbaceous notes, mineral notes. Still slightly closed on the palate, partly hidden stone fruit, herbaceous notes, mature, integrated acidity provides backbone, full-bodied but quite a cool style, spicy mienral notes, has some substance and depth, still slightly alcoholic and a little sharp on a good, long finish.

Best to drink: 2007-2009+. What our ratings mean
