The 2001 Riesling Spatlese Veldenzer Elisenberg offers a sultry nose of talcum powder, baked apples, and spiced pears. Big and rich, this medium-bodied wine is opulent, feminine, and more structured than the Wehlener Sonnenuhr. White chocolate, slate, minerals, currants, peaches, and an assortment of perfumes make up its exotic flavor profile. Projected maturity: 2004-2014.
