| | Tasted by Barry Rothof on 10/4/2019 & rated 91 points: Wagner-Stempel EMT Lunch (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam): From D-Magnum. This is tangy, crunchy and mouthwatering fresh with refined citrus, finesse and perfect balance! (700 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 5/25/2019: This is drinking very well - I just finished a glass of the '17, and this is better across the board. A more nuanced nose, with that white fruit cocktail over slate note that I often get with Riesling.
Then more expansive on the palate than the younger wine, with a salty note on the finish. In a word, delicious. (694 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 8/12/2018: Light golden in the glass, with a slate/minerally note most pronounced on the nose.
I just had a Nikolaihof Federspiel, and following up with this really emphasizes the residual sugar in the wine. Sweet & tart, with good acidity - and pretty drinkable. (916 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 5/16/2018: Light yellow in the glass; light fruit salad on the nose.
Light-bodied, and pretty tasty if not overly complex. 12.5% alcohol per the label, and this is pretty easy to knock back. (1165 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 4/10/2018: 3rd riesling in a row - my wife is making pork chops with mushrooms, white wine (in fact, this wine) crusted with bread crumbs and grated sharp cheddar, so I thought the rieslings might make a decent pairing (plus, not too bad drinking on their own while your waiting for dinner!).
The nose on this wine has more perceptible sweetness than the Nikolaihofs. More "rounded"/less focused than the other two wines on the palate - I probably didn't do this wine any favors by drinking it last, but it is still pleasant. (921 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 12/29/2017: Golden-colored in the glass; focused nose with white fruit cocktail (pineapple & peach).
Crisp, with bright acidity - dangerously gulpable. Maybe a bit short on the finish, but hard to complain given the price. (670 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 9/17/2016: Screw-capped; my 2nd look at this wine in the last month or so. Light yellow-gold in the glass. The nose has a hint of "sweetness" to it, almost like freshly cut pineapple (and I will caveat that by saying that I just tried three very dry Boulay Sancerre's, so perhaps the off-dry nature of this wine is a little more accentuated after that).
Nicely balanced with up-front acidity on the palate. Decent persistence, but somewhat "foursquare" at this point. Not bad, but also not overly memorable. (845 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob H on 8/6/2016: My first time trying this vintage; light yellow in the glass, with a sweet note on the nose.
Prominent acidity, tart, light-bodied, saline note as well. I was just drinking some Macon, so probably a difficult transition, but this is certainly interesting. (806 views) |

| | Tasted by jonanator on 4/5/2016 & rated 91 points: Very good. A nice RS level balanced beautifully with just enough acid. Lots of lovely minerality. Very good (660 views) |
