Riesling Wine Tasting Notes
|
1998 Chateau Ste. Michelle Dr. Loosen Cold Creek Vineyard Columbia Valley Riesling Eroica $20.00 Score: 86.0 "Rieslings are a rather rare commodity in the U.S. This Washington Riesling is crisp and spritzy, with good varietal definition in its apple and honey fruit. Just off-dry, it would be a fine match for poultry or pork." |
|
1999 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Josephshofer [Germany] Riesling Spatlese $23.00 Score: 92.0 "Sweet, floral, cinnamon; medium bodied, bright and spicy, long and complex. Very special." |
|
1999 Prinz von Hessen Winkeler Hasensprung Gheingau [Germany] Riesling Spatlese $23.00 Score: 93.0 "Fabulous - silky smooth, expansive, medium bodied, apricot, peach nectar, moderate spice and a long satisfying finish. Perfectly balanced and sweet enough that it can be served with pound cake, candied walnuts, or enjoyed all by itself." |
|
1999 Schloss Saarstein Serriger Schloss Saarsteiner Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Spatlese $20.00 Score: 87.0 " Layered fruit - penetrating honey and bosc pear with a hint of vegetal character, full-bodied and sweet. Big and ripe, best suited to the aperitif or dessert course. " |
|
1999 Schloss Johannisberger Rheingau [Germany] Riesling Rotlack Kabinett $20.00 Score: 91.0 "Floral and fruity, the Schloss Johannisberger is a dry, multi-faceted Riesling loaded with tart green apple fruit and mineral notes. What taste descriptions cannot convey is the amazing complexity of this wine. " |
|
1999 Baron zu Knyphausen Kiedricher Sandgrub Rheingau [Germany] Riesling Spatlese $18.00 Score: 91.0 "A complete, complex wine with layers of fruit like lime, apricot and bosc pear, light body, crisp acidity and a gorgeous finish. " |
|
1999 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Piesporter Goldtropfchen Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Kabinett $18.00 Score: 85.0 " Mildly sweet appley fruit, spritzy and very well-balanced, it seems almost dry on the mid-palate. The finish is a bit short, but otherwise this is a nicely made wine." |
|
1999 "Von Schubert, Maximin Grunhauser" Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling $16.00 Score: 90.0 " An amazing wine that elegantly combines elements that elsewhere might clash: Mint, fennel, apple and citrus. Moderately sweet with crisp acidity and good length. " |
