Flight 1 (5 Notes)

  • 2004 Albert Mann Gewurztraminer 88 Points

    France, Alsace

    This was really good. The nose was full of tropical fruit, pear, and nice floral notes. The palate was mainly pineapple and spice, followed by some citrus fruit. The acidity was good, and the finish long.

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    This was my favorite riesling of the tasting. The nose had lots of lemon and pear, mixed with some pineapple, earth, and floral notes. The palate had sweet citrus flavors, as well as some tropical fruit. The acidity was just right, and it had a long finish.

  • 2003 Joh. Jos. Prüm Riesling Kabinett 87 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    I really liked the nose on this wine. It had a lot of earthiness upfront, followed by citrus fruit, and pineapple. The palate was too sweet for me, but it had nice pineapple fruit, citrus, and spice. The acidity was low, and the finish was long.

  • 2005 Nik Weis / St. Urbans-Hof Riesling QbA 87 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    This was a great wine for the price. It was a liitle too sweet for me, but I bought as a gift. The nose had some nice earthiness, mixed with citrus, pineapple, and a hint of spice. The palate had a lot of pineapple, along with some citrus, and spice. The acidity was pretty low, and the finish was not as long as I would have liked.

  • 2005 Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling Indian Wells 87 Points

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    Not a bad wine, for the price. The nose was pretty simple - citrus fruit, along with a little pineapple, and floral notes. The palate was a little sweet for my taste, but it had a good amount of citrus flavors, with a hint of spice and tropical fruit. The acidity was a little low, but the finish was nice.
