Community Tasting Note

missatiejacket Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 6, 2014 - Decanted about 20 minutes so far. My first Hirtzberger, and this is amazing. Exotic nose filled with herbal aromas of mint, dill, parsley, and cilantro, along with peach, green apple, and hints of pineapple. It's like a chameleon, showing me different elements each time I put my nose in the glass. There is an extreme sense of refinement, not in a "made" sort of way, but in an elegant, understated way. The palate follows suit, particularly with that sense of refinement, although it does feel like things might be able to come together just a little bit more with time and be a touch more cohesive. I don't want that to seem negative; this stuff is wonderful right now, it's just that there's a WHOLE lot going on, and I think it will all meld together a bit after a few years in the bottle. Already, this is outstanding+, though, and an example of one of the truly great dry Rieslings of the world. outstanding++, potential for improvement.
