Community Tasting Note

Enfant sauvage Likes this wine:

Monday, March 7, 2016 - I grabbed this at MacArthur by mistake when I meant to grab the Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett. Not a bad mistake in that I enjoyed this too, but a bummer in that I don't think it's as good as the GHK. A touch lighter weight than than the GHK and not as much depth. Still has really pretty Richter fruit, apricot, peach, and tart green apple. Some slate as well. Somewhat shortish finish -- though as a parenthetical I have to say, I find that to be a really stupid complaint, especially when one is drinking $20 riesling. Still, I see it here all the time. "My $14 rosé is very yummy and has loads of floral tones and minerality, but it has a disappointing finish. 82 points." Seriously? What exactly did you expect, Mr. Parker???

Anyway, enough of my side rant. This is a pleasant wine, but it'll teach me to read more carefully, especially given my crappy German. Scheiβe!
