Community Tasting Note

• rieslinghoarder Likes this wine: 93 points

  May 31, 2023 - Glassware: Grassl Cru
  Prep: Pop n’ pour
  
  Opened after reading that some of the 2018 Goodfellows were in a nice early window.
  
  Translucent ruby. Reticent, yet complex aromas with impressions of red cherries, raspberries, roast pigeon (yes, I know what it smells like), wood spice, moss, and a hint of aloe leaf. With more time in the glass, more floral aromas including rose petals come to light and intertwine with the red berry fruit notes. Weightless and silky on the palate, with juicy flavors of black cherry, plum, black tea leaves, and floral stems, with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity lingering on the finish. Feels like this wine has a lot more potential, will hold for another 10 years.
