2005 Josmeyer Riesling Le Kottabe

Tasting Note:

The 2005 Riesling Le Kottabe is surprisingly spare and cerebral by the standards of this cuvee its lime zest and sage aromas leading to a bright firm palate impression of obvious extract and an impressively long but somewhat austere finish. _We had to pick three times to get good ripeness and arrived at 12.2% natural,_ comments Meyer. Le Kottabe is usually for early drinking but I would revisit this vintage in another year or two. Source: Wine Advocate
