d' Arenberg Noble Riesling, McLaren Vale 1994

I've kept this dessert wine of d' Arenberg for about 5 years, since the wine-maker promises that it will age well into a decade. Opened it tonight after dinner. Deep-amber in colour. Strong honey, both on the nose and palate. This is a noble rot -- meaning it is made with botrytis-infected grapes. It does not have as complex a bouquet as ice wines but nice.
