Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 18, 2008 - WFA German First Growths Masterclass + others; 10/16/2008-10/18/2008 (Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore): Pale yellow with green flecks. This wine had a fresh, clean nose - citrusy lime, perfumed flowers, honey and ripe rock melon and other yellow fruits. The palate showed mouthwatering acidity with rich and layered flavours of apricot and rock melon. This was quite a bit riper, fatter and sweeter than Prinz von Hessen's Jesuitgarten 1st Growth, the only other Rheingau in the tasting on both the nose and the palate. It was still dry but felt round and integrated, and surprisingly forward for a 2007 - probably one of the most forward wines in the masterclass. Nice, long lingering finish with clean mineral running through. Maybe a bit simpler and with less structure and breeding than some that we tried, but an excellent wine nonetheless.
