Despite being from the exceptionally hot 2003 vintage, and at the Spätlese level of ripeness, this wine displays a delicate balance of fruit, spice and acidity. Tasty lychee nut, canned peach and ripe pink grapefruit flavors laced with lovely aromas of rose petals and autumn spice. On the dry side of off-dry, with touches of chalk and slate. There is just enough acidity on the finish to keep the wine light and fresh. A very good effort.
