Sweet White Wine
A Spatslese (sweet German Riesling) to be precise ~ it might not be the height of fashion or style but Although one authority has said "German Riesling is not like aging Bordeaux.
Although there can be a dull phase which Auslese Riesling will go through from say years 2-6, it is never as severe as what Bordeaux goes through. Furthermore, you don't have to deal with overpowering tannins in Riesling like you do in Bordeaux.
Lastly, the metamorphosis that Riesling goes through is very different than the change which occurs in Bordeaux. In Bordeaux, the wine integrates and it is almost widely accepted that aged Bordeaux is more pleasurable than an immature bottle. Drinking a young German Riesling is like drinking Spring in a bottle. It is fruity, minerally, spritzy (often) and has a lighter body and texture. Drinking aged German Riesling is like drinking Autumn in a bottle.
It is heavier, more complex and the fruit is less tropical."
There..! I am a wine buff too.
