This riesling from the 2003 vintage from Georg Breuer in the Rheingau is a very good one. At 11 years of age, it has taken on a golden colour and has aromatics reminding of nuts, lemon and kerosene. The palate is dry – a state of affairs regrettably still unpredictable with many German labels – and is very balanced. Its flavours are best summed up as honey on toast balanced by firm acidity and some lactic characters. This is a lovely riesling that will interest most.
