Smoky botrytis can be discerned in the timid nose of the 2002 Riesling Spatlese Kiedrich Grafenberg. Awesomely rich, complex, and intense, this outstanding Spatlese will most certainly merit a more exalted review when its nose sorts itself out. It slathers the palate with honeyed minerals, botrytis, spices, and candied limes whose effects linger in its impressively long, lush finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.
