Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling Reserve 2005

Very pronounced mineral notes on the nose, with some apple underneath. On the palate, the mineral stood out though the fruit characteristics were hidden by the acidic nature of the wine. It was almost necessary to have this wine with a meal -- the acid was so strong, that I could not imagine having it alone. I also suspect that it would have been fantastic if I waited a few more years before opening. Three and a half out of five stars (and wishing that I had bought another bottle).
