nuther riesling

dr loosen graacher himmelreich kabinett 2007
gold/straw; simple nose, lime rind, very little peach, ripe white grape?, someone said pear;off dry ... sweet but not cloying, grapey, lime, some golden delicious, not complex but with a nice almost plump mouthfeel (less complex at this stage but broader than the berkasteler lay 07), mineral/chalky; very, very nice juicy underlying acid especially at the very end of each gulp; long ... and there's this subtle fresh peach flavour that goes on and on; for what it's got now, balanced; 8%; kept chucking it down and swallowing hard :-); BANG! price creeping up. pork burger and roast pork (too lean). see the 06.
