2002 Hochheim Reichestal Riesling Kabinett, Rheingau, Germany

Amber colour. Already well developed, caramel nose, dried apples and stone fruit, oxidative notes. Mature again on the palate, soft, sweet fruit, partly dried apples, citrus and stone fruit, elegant acidity, light bite, fairly concentrated and persistent, mineral notes in the background, delecate vegetal traces, more caramel on quite a good finish. Probably slightly oxidised because of the synthetic stopper, but still charming, and has some life.

Best to drink: Bis 2012+. What our ratings mean
