2002 Cave De Beblenheim Particuliere Riesling

Bright straw colour with pale straw hue. Delicate floral top note of confectionary and spice, with a touch of boiled lolly. The palate has lost its vibrancy, with a developed flavour profile emerging. There are nuances of toast, confectionary and boiled lolly flavours on the palate, followed by a subtle citrus back palate. The acidity is soft and it would appear that the wine has past its youthful peak. Will old age confer a more appealing flavour profile? – We think not!
