One of the rare excellent halbtrockens, the 2002 Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken Burrweiler Schlossgarten, displays smoky minerals, slate, and ripe white fruits in its expressive aromatics. Lush, tangy, big, and broad, it is a suave, flavorful offering that is packed with loads of tangy minerals. Its long detailed finish reveals additional layers of candied limes and gravel-like notes. Why can’t all halbtrockens be this lip-smackingly good? Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
