| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.2 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by oakville72 on 11/27/2022 & rated 89 points: Crystal clear and almost no color. Fragrant Riesling nose with a bit of cream, making me think the wine has undergone malolactic, yet the acidity is still quite high. Dry Riesling is an acquired taste, but this checks all the flavor points. Purchased at Total Wine for just $10.79, which makes it a screaming deal. If you're a dry Riesling novice, this is a great wine to start on. (298 views) | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 3/24/2021 & rated 89 points: Retail $16. Under screw cap. Pierre Sparr is a big name in Alsace as, with the winery being founded in 1680, it has been around a while. When I lived in Alsace for a year and subsequently returned there just about every summer, Pierre Sparr was a wine that I knew would deliver quality on a consistent basis. And that is what we have here. Sure, it is not the *best* Alsatian wine I've had (or even the best Pierre Sparr), but it is clean, precise, exudes some petrol on the nose, is laden with fruit on both the nose & palate, races with acidity, and ends with a lengthy finish. All for a little more than ten bucks (in most markets)? Giddy-up.

Dropping a couple of points for poor showing on day 2. (947 views) | | | Tasted by wkasimer on 12/21/2020: There was something odd and bitter on the finish that I didn’t like. There was not enough acid. (1004 views) | | | Tasted by Henman on 7/4/2020 & rated 87 points: From a 375ml bottle. Subtle nose of lime and a whiff of gooseberry. Medium bodied, dry, rather fruity, showing lime/citrus with firm acidic backbone. Not the most expressive of rieslings but felt rather solid and clean. Nice value.

Mostly citrus and apple on the nose, less of the tropical/petrol/floral aromas you can often find in rieslings. Crisp, finishes a little short, okay for the price. (1114 views) |
