With a dinner of hastily prepared arroz con pollo

2004 Selbach-Oster Riesling Kabinett Zeltinger Sonnenuhr (AP # 016 05)

nose: initially, stones, a hint of citrus and petrol, becoming peachier
as it sat open
palate: crisply acidic, light bodied, good fruit (grapefruit and peach)

Opened as experiment with the saffron-scented rice, etc., the wine went
fabulously with the food, becoming even fruitier and less obviously
acidic. The bottle went down all too easily, but was a welcome addition
to our Friday night dinner.

Mark,

the 2004 SO Kabinett Zeltinger Schlossberg and, specially, the 2004
Spatlese from the same vineyard have been the wines of the vintage at our
house.

We are fortunately enough to purchase them at 12 euros (the kabinett) and
15 euros (the spatlese) and my wife keeps asking me to open yet another
bottle. And I have purchased about 12 of the spatlese.

Best,

Santiago
