Dry German Riesling Tasting, Episode #881 (6/25/2010)
W_Riesling, Mosel. #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-peach; a little like a balloon; sugar cane; hints of honey on the back-end; PALATE-this has a beautiful honey component; the alcohol is coming through on the back-end; very old vineyard with very low yields, so intense wines from this producer; a baked apple component with some acid in the middle; medium to full bodied; this is not doing it for me; a little disjointed and off balance; WS-88; GV-86 86 points |

Dry German Riesling Tasting, Episode #881 (6/25/2010)
W_Riesling, Rheinhessen. #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-right off the bat, I'm getting a pickled green pea with basil; very green which I really like; PALATE-the elements on the nose follow through; very green; basil; celery; very complex; an enormous amount of minerality; flint and chalk; green pepper; an intriguing and subtle under ripe green banana flavor on the back-end; very interesting and thought provoking wine; I like this wine; very complicated; great structure, but missing out on the delicious factor; I do appreciate the massive complexity and the 2nd and 3rd tier flavors; getting some melon flavors on the back-end; great acidity; has a lot of good pieces to it, but ultimately I'm not completely blown away; JG--95; DS-92; GV-90 90 points |
