Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Note that trocken wines can still have some residual sugar and this seems to have some, or perhaps it’s just the very ripe-tasting fruit. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance. ——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 87
