2005 Niederberg Helden Spatlese

Aromas of nectarine and lime, peach and honey rise from a glass of the 2005 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Spatlese, a wine whose subtle creaminess and elegant, delicate interplay on the palate of pit fruit and citrus, honey and wet stone lead to a superficially sweet yet delicate, juicy and refreshing finish. Granted, in a few years the extra measure of sweetness will no longer be noticeable and the overall balance and freshness of the wine at that point might be better for it.
