Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 12, 2020 - 流沙包: "It's like the promise of a Belgian waffle fulfilled" (Chicago, IL): I think the two bottles of Ostertag suffered a little bit being consumed after the Haags. The difference made the weight of this wine stick out like a sore thumb. The nose shows some orange blossom and other green herbs, but also a distinct lychee component. On the palate, this shows quite oily and is very true to Alsace, but at the end of the day, it's too weighty for a riesling in my mind. I also didn't like the phenolic bitterness on the finish here, but I suspect that given some additional time, that component would have faded away.
