The 2004 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Spatlese reminds one of the amazing potential inherent in this less-than-famous site. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, flowers, key lime, and honey lead into a palate that is creamy, faintly oily, liqueur-like in its ultra ripe blue and black-fruited intensity, and compelling in its sheer purity and richness of fruit. The long finish incorporates a smoky, possibly site-typical pungency.
