2009 Riesling Cordon Cut

(for 375 ml.) Pale gold. An intense, kaleidoscopic bouquet of pear nectar, candied lime, ginger, orange zest and white flowers, with a strong mineral underpinning. Remarkably pure and refreshing for a late-harvest wine, offering intense candied citrus, orchard fruit and floral flavors, with notes of honey and chamomile adding complexity. Juicy acidity cuts through the intensely sweet, nectar-like fruit on the finish, adding vibrancy and lift. This wine's balanced and precise blend of honeyed richness and citrussy vivacity is very alluring. I can't think of a cheese that this wouldn't complement with ease.
