We opened a bottle of Chateau des Charmes' 2002 Riesling yesterday. This is not one of your limp-wristed, weak, or watery Rieslings. It's got a powerful, long-lasting flavour to put some Chardonnays into the shade. An off-dry, rather than a dry wine, but with plenty of acidity to carry the fruit through to the finish. This wine is going on our "restock" list. Highly recommended.
