Zind Humbrecht, Riesling, Rangen "Clos St. Urbain" 2002

Copper/gold.

Roasted botrytis nose - grapefruit marmalade. Huge depth.

Huge in the mouth - quite sweet, but there's a massive amount of extract/flavor depth/chew here. Flavors? Toasted marshmallow, wildly intense grapefruit marmalade and a roasted/earthy botrytis finish. I'd love to know what the volatile acidity is. Acid/sugar smackdown goes on for minutes.

Day 3 - No real change. Loaded, and probably too much for many. But for all the richness, there is a corresponding cut/edge.

15% alcohol, Indice 3 (moderate residual sugar)
