Bottling Date September 2004
Production Details Producer-described dry wine with sweetness index 1. Grapes were harvested without noble rot at sufficient ripeness for a concentrated but dry wine; the estate's 2003 Vieilles Vignes cuvée was blended into this Herrenweg bottling, and the wine had a long stay on its lees.
Tasting Notes Producer notes, June and October 2004: very dry with supple acidity and firm tannic structure; toasted bread, smoke, hay and ginger, later becoming more biscuit-like, with a dry yet rounded finish.
