2020 Eva Fricke Riesling Rheingau

Community Tasting Notes

Community Tasting Notes (4) Median Score: 89 points

  • Lunch at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): #03-21, 12.5% abv. Clean, bright riesling -- perhaps a little foursquare and ordinary, but granted this is after all an entry level wine. Some lime and apple and a little more rounded than your typical Mosel. Nice stuff.

  • Tried this at a restaurant, immediately regretted it. Too young. Strong acid, light citrus. The bottles of this wine that are in my cellar will stay there for another few years.
