Christoffel-Berres Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese 1993

Christoffel-Berres Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) 1993: A fairly rich (for the Mosel) yellow golden hue is the first sign that this wine has something to offer. A deliciously intense nose, full of fresh, zesty limes and dripping with rich, honeyed fruit. The palate has the weight to match this exuberant nose, yet with fine, integrated and balanced acidity. There is a slatey, steely edge to the palate, but it really plays second fiddle to the honeyed fruit flavours. It all rolls together into a lovely finish, with some length. 18/20 AP Nr. 2 602 143 03 94 (28/6/01)
