Notes: Mild, yet rich aroma
of honeyed fruit with a hint of wet chalk and a wisp of flowers. Full bodied with incredible rich, honeyed
fruit (white grape, meyer lemon, and, perhaps, peach) framed with a pleasing
acidic tang and floral hints. More honey
and fruit with a mild minerality on the very long finish.
This is an excellent and
intriguing example of German Riesling Auslese.
The overwhelming characteristic is rich, elegant honeyed fruit which I
find unparalleled in any other Riesling I have had. While not readily apparent, this wine offers
enough acidity to keep it from being cloying.
The only criticism of this wine is that it is not as complex as other
German Rieslings I have had, as the chalky/stony and floral characteristics
that I associate with these wines are very subdued in this example.
Value: Very good to
excellent
