Delicious and delicate bottle of reputed German riesling from Nahe region. It offers explosive aromas one after one over times. 2011 for Nahe is one of the great vintages. Ones should not really miss. I personally love this bottle a lot. It can even be drunk as aperitif. However, it should match perfectly with soft tone dishes like chicken or sushi and light dessert such as eclair. Yet, Asian food like Chinese or Thai curry would do its work too. Store it up and enjoy now until the end of decade.
