The 2004 Leiwener Laurentiuslay Riesling Spatlese offers a lovely aroma of fresh nectarine, yellow plum, lime, and sweet herbs. A creamy, silky, polished palate impression with subtle salt and wet stone nuances folded into generous pit and citrus fruit is highly alluring. The finish is refined and satisfyingly full of fruit and minerals. This should be a good candidate for at least 12 or 15 years of fascinating maturation, although that is speculation given that Loewen himself has only a short track record.
