July 20, 2009 - Devoting oneself to scoring great QPRs for less than say $10 can cause serious distortion of one's quality assessment as a tendency to pretend such bargain wines (good as they may be) to be actually as good as the "real" thing develops. Then, when one comes across the real thing, the pretense is mercilessly revealed to be a fraud. Such is the case with the Nikolaihof. This is seriously good. Clear pale gold with a slight viscosity in the glass, the nose is tantalizingly complex and nuanced with some organic solvent, vanillin, perfume, mineral (I'm not doing it justice). On the palate it fairly explodes with bracing citrus underscored with tropical fruits, terroir of stones evocative of a good Meursault. It leaves one with the resolve to turn once again to a willingness to spend money for good wine.

June 13, 2006 - Light nose, pleasant, aromatic, asparagus and white pepper; juicy and fruity, residual sugar, low acidity; decent length. Nice enough but nothing more.
