"The Haart 2007 Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese smells of lightly caramelized peach, nut brittle, grilled pineapple, and sassafras. Vivid fruit skin tartness and juicy citrus and a sense of crushed stone suffusion offer a satisfying foil to the caramelized, toasted, and honeyed elements of this imposing and enormously ripe Spatlese that finishes with an endearing and memorable sense of lift. One can plan on following it for a couple of decades."
