On the nose you get intense honey dew, white flower, and ripe pear. On the palate, this bottle of nectar has honey-like viscosity, yet totally transparent. Pristine sweetness fully integrated with the racy acidity. Full bodied and perfectly balanced. Layers and layers of sweetness were released like waves. Maybe a bit more minerality can make it a 10. But this is a representative expression of the Josef vineyard. What more can I ask for? It’s hard to believe a dessert Riesling can be this good. Better than the 09 Nobel select, also better than the JJ Prum WS Gold Kap 06 in all dimensions.
