05 Kurt Hain, and 55 Buick. 50 years of excellence?


2005 Kurt Hain, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Riesling Spätlese;
(Magnum) I bought this bottle as I remember my father telling a story (and showing pictures) of a stop at Kurt Hain on our way to the French Riviera in a 1955 Buick, way back in 1982. I was just 3 years old. (The picture shows Jay Leno's gorgeous 55 Roadmaster two door hardtop).
So, back to the wine, pale golden, some minerals, just a tiny hint of petroleum, gorgeous apples, layered and elegant. Fresh acidity perfectly balanced with the body, refreshing, light, airy, stunning balance, refreshing and long finish. Mouthwatering. A beauty. 93
