The 2007 Lorenzhofer Riesling Eiswein is penetratingly ester-rich in the nose, mingling red currant jelly, dried distilled apricot, candied lemon, a pure, honeyed note of botrytis as well as a sharp nip of frost. Dried apricot and a rather thick texture contrast with salt and lemon for a somewhat sweet-sour palate impression, and a resin-like note fits this wine's slightly sticky yet sharp persistence. How this concentrated, quasi-blend of B.A. and Eiswein will age, I am hesitant to predict, but I suspect it would not be prudent to leave it for too many years without re-examination. Peter Geiben began picking already October 4th, but did not finish until the 25th. Results were a bit disappointing at the dry end of the spectrum, (a deficiency redressed by his 2008s, incidentally), and more impressive where significant residual sugar came into play.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel (516) 677-9300
