Long Vineyard Johannisberg Riesling Botrytis (500 ml) 2001

Gorgeous, "middle Mosel-style" nose of vibrant Riesling fruit, displaying the textbook Long Vineyards aromatics and opulent botrytis tones. Dramatic scents of orchids and other tropical flowers add their beauty to a cascade of peach, spiced apple, grapefruit, brown sugar, honey and clove. Long, intense, densely fruited, perfectly focused and delicately refreshing despite extreme ripeness, it fills the mouth with layers of flavors. A triumph of graceful, wonderfully expressed fruit, it will grow ever more lovely over the next 5 years.
