Community Tasting Note

John Dunlap Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 19, 2017 - This half bottle has rested for years in my cellar in part because I wasn't sure how to enjoy this wine. The bottle was in good shape and cork was tight and came out in one piece. The wine’s color is golden rich much like that of dried golden raisins. The nose is rich without any petrol elements that you notice in a number of (German) Rieslings. Its like drinking a demi-sec Loire or dry Sauternes except it's made from Riesling. No volatile elements either in the nose or palate make this wine a real winner from the very start. Nose and palate include elements of apricot, raisin, and black tea along with a well-balanced finish - with good acidity - and flavors of toasted coconut and red apple. Lovely.

A very sophisticated wine!

Back of label states: 4.0% Brix Residual Sugar. 12% ABV.

Served with homemade cream of celery soup (recipe courtesy of Williams Selyem) spiced up with a touch of Tabasco along with buttermilk biscuits.
