The 2004 Riesling Eierfels combines aromas and flavors of slightly bitter black fruits, pineapple, cumin, and a smoky, waxy Chenin-like note. There is a textural graininess and faintly bitter notes of lemon zest and peach kernel, but also juicy fresh fruit and lovely lingering black fruits and nut oils. This developed nicely with aeration and displays considerable class as befits its origins. Incidentally, readers with the requisite disposable income are urged to explore Diel’s 2003 T.B.A. (from the Pittermanchen), which was unfortuitously also being bottled the day I visited.
