Muenchberg Riesling 2005 "Pineapple Tart tatin"

Last night I had a bottle of the 2005 Muenchberg Riesling 2005 from Domain Ostertag. This Alsacian Grand Cru is drinking well but I would imagine it would be stunning in 5-10 years from now.
A bit of oak comes through, but the predominant flavor is pineapple and tropical fruit. Think pineapple tart tatin cooked with butter. Nicely dry, not sweet. I'll head back to buy some for the cellar.
