The 2014 Nikolaihof Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel is a beautiful wine. At first the aromatics are is a bit closed, but after multiple hours of air contact the bouquet opens up and shows notes of green apple, citrus, pineapple, slate, petrol, honey and white flowers. It is juicy and complex on the palate with a nice creamy texture followed by a zip of acidity on the finish. This age worthy Riesling needs at least another 3-4 years of bottle age before it begins to express itself and can be enjoyed over the next 15-20 years. (Best 2019-2035) - May, 2016 (MD)
