This labeled Trocken on the back label. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some peach along with wet rock/minerality. Medium bodied. A strong backbone of acidity. On the palate, this is crisp with some peach and plenty of depth. This is still young and will no doubt develop more complexity with good cellaring but it is delicious now. Great on its own, this is very food friendly and would no doubt benefit from some food to work with the acidity. Thai food seems like a natural match. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
This is getting a bit old in the tooth but still had something to offer. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is clean (no diesel) with slight grapefruit. Medium bodied. On the palate, very slight oxidation with some peach notes. A bit bitter on the finish. These are past prime if this bottle was representative but just a bit and should be consumed sooner than later. It is very food friendly and worked nicely with Nachos.
This is in a nice place right now. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with lemon peel, wet rocks, salinity and slight char. Medium bodied. Vibrant acidity. On the palate, this is sweet, not cloying. Delicious. Flavors of lemon, slight apples and minerality. Long finish. This is just starting to show some development and should drink well for twenty years. It is very food friendly and would be great with Thai food.
Gorgeous wine. This is a dry Riesling from Germany that is getting close to peak. Medium golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with peach, slight citrus (oranges mostly), and loads of minerality. Medium to full bodied. Wonderful energy and balance. Great texture. On the palate, this is complex and deep. Layers of fruit and minerality. Grapefruit, oranges, and schist. Great acidity. Long finish. This is lovely on its own but better with food. This would be a great companion to Sushi. Drink over the next ten to twenty years.
This is an interesting and quite good Riesling. Yellow gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with apples, slight sitrus and minerality. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is dry. Flavors of apples, slight lemon and minerals. A little short on the finish. This wine has plenty of stuffing and while it is good on its own, it will be better with food. It should work with most foods, but Spaetzle seems like a natural choice. Drink over the next five to eight years.
This is a dry Riesling from the Finger Lakes region in New York. At age 14, it is showing some age but still offering up plenty. Deep golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has canned peaches, slight petrol, and a bit of minerality. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, the peached come thru but also a bit of bitterness. Seems a bit part prime but the acidity is keeping it going. Nice finish. If you own any, drink up, but certainly worth drinking. Better with some food. It would be nice with a beet and goat cheese salad.
