  VDP Rheingau Riesling Review 2009 (German House, London, U.K.): @ Great Rheingau Riesling Review 2009, London:
  Rüdesheimer Berg Zollhaus - Spectacular nose, a whirlwind of different impressions racing through your head, I found it very hard to concentrate on just one of the many impressions, but the wine wasn't all over the place or being unfocused (if that makes sense). I picked up some camomile, hay, but also bits of of pomegranate and gooseberry on the nose.
  I didn't know what to expect and the taste was certainly quite surprising. Rather bitter, not hollow, then with increasing almond skin. The finish was tart like, and developed into a moss-like flavour. A very humbling experience to taste this wine after having been produced 80 years ago.
  Rating it doesn't do it justice, and included some major points for having survived 2 world wars.
