  September 9, 2017 - Mellifluous indeed! Sporting a moniker synonymous with dulcet, soothing, honeyed, and harmonious, this bottle had a fair bit to live up to. Fortunately, you never have to doubt Eva Fricke! The wine certainly was harmonious as well as precise, showcasing plenty of strength while maintaining a pleasant mouthfeel and excellent drinkability. It presented itself a touch off-dry in what one might call a Feinherb style, though that’s an unregulated term and seems to have only the vaguest of true definitions; in any case, it was right up my alley. Citrus opened with lime and ruby grapefruit, eventually developing into riper orange/tangerine (even a slight sense of orange spritzer now and then). Golden apple and peach showed through, followed by tropical kiwi, pineapple, melon, and lychee. White pepper, fennel, and stone were countered by a touch of creaminess and hints of honey. Spicy ginger grew stronger with time, combining with cinnamon to provide the wine with a gingersnap finish. It felt like a drink now sort, though like any quality German Riesling could no doubt further develop; maybe not a particularly complex bottle of Riesling, but one that lived up to its name and well worth the experience for the price! .
