Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

2012 August Eser Rauenthal Rothenberg Riesling Spätlese trocken "Steillage"
August Eser is a VDP-producer from the Rheingau. They're not in the top league, but make fairly consistent wines such as this single-vinyard dry late-harvest Riesling.
pale-yellow, smells of peach, melon and of minerality, quite a full body, tastes of peach and minerality, dry, but not in a tart way, peach in the aftertaste, finish of sufficient lenghth (15 seconds). Quite a good Riesling that will reward more time in the bottle.
