Riesling Spatlese Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube 2003 (75 CL)

Intense scents of slate as well as minerals burst from the glass of the medium-bodied and seductively sexy 2003 Riesling Spatlese Schlossbockelheimer Kupfergrube. Broad, rich, and plush, it boasts plump, seamless layers of powerfully flavored poached pears, apples, and candied slate. This dense, fat, and prolonged wine should be drunk over the next 15 years. Bravo to Helmut Donnhoff for this magical line-up! (PR, 12/2003)
