Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 91 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by fclarity on 4/6/2019 & rated 91 points: This wine had an amber center with yellow rims. The medium- intensity nose showed tea, pear, and vanilla.

This wine was rich in the mouth with some acidity and decent length.

This wine is clearly fully mature. Drink up! (474 views)
 Tasted by Eric on 12/19/2004 & rated 91 points: Dinner with Ross and Ali (Seattle, WA, USA): AP# 33045 022 90. Deep, gold color. The aromatics are stunning with huge and complex note of honeyed diesel. However, the palate is far less giving and mainly shows bright, lean acid. Mmm, with some air this is filling out and shows more promise, but it is still somewhat lean for what it it. (3411 views)

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)

Rheingau

VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info

The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions.
