| Community Tasting Notes (average 87 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fhayek on 3/24/2020 & rated 87 points: Feinherb i.e. semi-dry. 10 EUR in Tegut supermarket Germany.
Beautiful scent, fresh, intensive, fruity. Lots of juicy pear and elderberry.
In the mouth it is rather surprising. For one it has a rather oily consistence, then, the acidity is way below usual for Riesling; it's almost soft and there is little freshness.
So it's quite different from the typical Riesling, this is a wine that works itself through the middle, there again lead by pear, although a bit less defined than what one would expect based on scent.
I would interpret it as an attempt to make a Riesling for a more international palate or for people who usually find the grape too acidic. In sum it works reasonably well, especially the amount of residual sugar is well calibrated - not sweet in any way but enough to magnify the fruit.
On balance, a pretty satisfying if unusual wine, for me a bit more acidity and just a bit more grip in its core would elevate it higher.
QPR "more or less OK" - this is the market reality these days; I would welcome if this quality would be available for 7-8 EUR. (237 views) |
