2005 Weinbach Riesling Cuvée St. Catherine

2005 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Cuvée St. Catherine en demi-bouteille - drunk over lunch at Forlino in Singapore. Made from the grapes of Clos des Capucins. The nose immediately signaled a higher-than-normal alcohol content, which was fair given that this was the ultra-ripe 2005 vintage. Nose of orange flowers, apricots and some minerals were very pleasant, and only a hint of sweetness on the palate.

Full post of lunch is here.
