The 2003 Riesling Spatlese Thornicher Ritsch, from a slate-riddled vineyard, bursts from the glass with floral aromas that importer Terry Theise accurately described as Wachau-like. Supple, pure, and focused, this is a light to medium-bodied wine with herbal tea, spice, and pear flavors that linger in its appealing finish. It should be consumed over the next 8-9 years.
