Community Tasting Note

    August 24, 2018 - Talula's Table with a few Berserkers - Late Summer menu: This was in a flight of two wines with a Donnhoff Spatlese Riesling. That wine completely overshadowed this one. The nose was a little odd and subdued at first and at one time I even thought I smelled tomato leaf. A creamy, heavier mouthfeel than the Riesling. Moderate acidity. Pleasant, but the Riesling had a lot more going on and that made it hard to appreciate this one.
