2005 Willi Bründlmayer Riesling Zöbinger Heiligenstein

Brundlmayer’s 2005 Riesling Heiligenstein offers lovely scents of licorice, brown spices, and flowers, comes to the palate satisfyingly juicy and with abundant inner-mouth florality, then picks up a peachy, honeyed character (signaling a bit of botrytis) that persists along with flowers and faintly sizzling minerality.
