Flight 1 (12 notes)

White - Sparkling
N.V. Latitude 50 Sekt Trocken Weiss Germany, Nahe
Not much nose. Light, apply, off dry. Quite like cider.
White - Sparkling
2008 Reichsrat Von Buhl Riesling Sekt Brut Germany, Pfalz
Yeasty. Heavy. Dry and mineral. Would have a hard time picking this out as Riesling.
White
2010 Rudolf Fürst Müller-Thurgau "pur mineral" Germany, Franken
Green tones. Medium weight, some glycerine. Neutral flavors. Reminiscent of white Graves.
White
2010 Schloss Schönborn Riesling Trocken Germany, Rheingau
Peach aromatics. Light to medium weight. Dry. Not much flavor.
White
2010 ZÜM Riesling Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Floral. Off dry, neutral palate with a burst of minerality and slate at the end.
White
2009 Emrich-Schönleber Riesling Lenz Germany, Nahe
Apricot. Viscous and off dry. Powerful rockiness on the finish.
White
2010 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Drachenstein Riesling Dragonstone Germany, Rheingau
Nectarine. Light weight. Crisp, tart flavors with a bit of residual sugar. Good value.
White
2010 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Aromatic citrus. Large scaled for Kabinett. Moderate residual sugar, good stony finish. Very good.
White - Off-dry
2010 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
More penetrating aromatics than the Kabinett. Lush, fairly sweet, good acidity. More Auslese in character, not as mineral as the Kabinett.
White - Off-dry
2010 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling Spätlese Germany, Rheingau
Lime nose. Rich entry and spicy, but tremendous minerality and acidity cut through the sweetness. My clear favorite of the tasting and great value at $21.
White - Off-dry
2010 Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Spätlese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Early petrol. Ripe entry, intense citrus fruit balanced by almost painful structure (but here, pain is pleasure). Very good.
White - Off-dry
2010 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Minty. Glycerine and sweet. Delicious yellow peach with acidity that sneaks up at the end.
