2001 H. Mathern Niederhauser Felsensteyer Riesling Kabinett, Nahe. A.P. No. 7-750-043-15-02. Perhaps an odd accompaniment to watching the first presidential debate, but I was eating spicy Vietnamese takeout, and it went well with that. The nose shows powerful minerality -- more on the stony side than the sulfur side. The flavor profile is all Granny Smith apples, limes, and slate wonderfully balanced, and tempered with vibrant acidity and not much residual sugar. The finish is uplifting and showcases more mineral than fruit. This is such an easy wine to drink. It's showing very well right now, but it can be left alone for a while yet.
