C.H. Berres Riesling Spatlese 2003 750ml (No Barcode) centralcoastNose is complex with slate, peach, grass, and honey, as well as some slight pencil lead and wet leaves. Sweet peaches and honey continue onto the palate, consistent with Mosel Rieslings. The earthy notes do not carryover to the palate as much as hoped. Color is a cloudy gold yellow.
