  Took this to dinner with Allred. About the 5th time I have had this wine (I bought a 6 pack on release for $15/bottle). This was the worst showing yet. Very low in acidity and lacking in the tropical notes that can be so wonderful in German Eiswein. Notes of pears and apples. This falls off on the finish. 83 points.

  Courtesy of VM. Deep color with noes of apricot and honeyed fruit syrup. Rich texture, with layers of honeyed stone fruit and pear liqueur. Finishes with good length. Could use just a touch more acidity.

  Took a bottle of this to LostVerse's house last weekend. Weingut Heinrich Seebrich is in the Rheinhessen and is considered to be a moderate-good producer. I had the chance to meet the winemaker Jochen Seebrich in March 2002 and enjoyed talking to him about his wines and the 2001 barrel samples he was pouring at the time. They own 10.5 hectares of which 40% are planted to Riesling. The estate was founded in 1783. 4th time I have had this wine. Paired it with a chocolate dessert. Not the best combo as the chocolate overpowered this wine. Similar notes as when I last had this wine in 2003 and 2005. It is holding up well and does not seem to have lost any of it's fresh acidity. 90 points.

  8.5% alcohol. The Oelberg is a single vineyard site North of Nierstein. This wine is not in the same league as the top Eisweins but how can you go wrong paying $15 for a wine that is 1)Riesling based; 2)Eiswein level; and, 3)from the great 2001 vintage. This wine was a light yellow color and had a delightful nose of tropical fruits. Sweet but deftly balanced by cutting acidity and a plush texture. Notes of pear, fruit cocktail and some hints of honey. Fresh lively finish. Needed more concentration and a longer finish to get to the next level. 90-91 points.
