Community Tasting Notes 4

  November 14, 2010 - Austrian and Spanish Wines on the Fino patio (Fino Restaurant, Austin, Texas): This wine was helped much by food. It had a cream soda and petrol nose, was dry and mineral-driven, and gained some white pepper,, lemon zest, peach pit, and honeysuckle notes over time. Overall the fruit seemed restrained, and this might improve with time.

  June 25, 2009 - Basically the same as before. It has some acidity, though, and decent length. Still, it lacks freshness and doesn’t have structure to match the slight sweetness.

  June 28, 2008 - I agree with LWI below but perhaps am not quite as critical. The wine shows a pronounced diesel character of a no longer young riesling but not yet fully mature. Plenty of botrytis on the nose too - enough to be a little distracting. And I agree the acids weren't quite there which left the wine a bit heavy. Maybe we caught this at an awkward time. Not bad by any stretch but didn't have the cut I had hoped for.

  September 10, 2007 - Medium deep colour. Very big wine that tastes of glycerine, apricots, and peaches. Long, but too loose and definitely lacks acidity.
