New York Cork Report
-
By Lenn Thompson
(Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling DRy) The nose, rather than being overtly fruity, is dominated by summery floral aromas with other scents of lime zest, minerals, ginger and something almost almond-like. Light bodied, clean and fresh, the palate features fresh lime and mineral flavors with crisp pear in the background. Despite its youth, this wine even shows a bit of that classic petrol leading into a lengthy finish of citrus, apple and minerals. The acidity isn't quite where it might be in cooler years, but there is enough to keep it lively. This isn't a riesling for everyone. There are plenty of people who prefer more luscious fruit. More pear or even peach. But for me, this is a terrific example of Finger Lakes riesling.
1/5/2009, (See more on New York Cork Report...) 3.5 out of 5 stars

Perfect balance of fruit and tart. Dry without bitterness. Flowers and citrus and melon aromas. First class all the way.

Good taste, use most of it in mushroom and ham risotto: amazing choice for that.

Well ripened fruit gives the impression of residual sugar, but it is dry. Lime, Lemon and a bit of stone on a frame of low acidity. Saline finish. Refreshing.

Stony nose. Lime up front with a nice mineral mid-palate. This was the most complex dry Riesling at the tasting but a little watery and slightly bitter on the finish. Still, enjoyable overall and I would like to try more from this producer.

A quicky mini-tasting note.
I first drank a Dr. Frank Riesling back in the late 70's. For those who don't know Dr. Frank was one of the first (maybe THE first) to successfully make vinifera in the Finger Lakes. I haven't had any of the wines in a while.
Medium/light yellow. Beautiful nose of citrus and a bit of petrol. Delightfully zingy with attractive and ripe fruit that went perfectly with some speckled trout in butter. Two days later the last glass had lost most of the zing and showed some RS that was hidden on day 1 but also a bit of richness. Still nice but a bit flabby.
A really nice showing and a wine that would not have seemed out of place along side a good Kabinett.
