German Wine Tasting Notes
1998 Graff
Piesporter Michelsberg [Germany] Riesling
Score: 83.0
"Subdued steely nose, dry on the palate, light and hinting at fruit, not delivering until the finish. Pair with dover sole sauteed in lemon butter sauce, or talapia."
|
1997 Wormser
Liebfrauenstift Kirchenstuck Rheinhessen [Germany] Riesling
Score: 87.0
"just moderately sweet, this wine has a floral nose and honey flavors, crisp acidity and tart finish."
|
1998 Baron von Heyl Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim
Nierstein [Germany] [riesling?]
Score: 85.0
"Virtually dry, subtle forest floor aromas, tart and citrusy on the palate. Good length. Good value. Pair with fish. "
|
1998 Weingut Johannishof
Johannisberger Vogelsang [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 89.0
"Quite a fine wine for $13. Clear mineral and apple character with subtle shades of honey and apricot; crisp acidity, long clean, minerally finish. Great with fish or bratwurst."
|
1998 Graff
Wehlener Sonnenurh [Germany] Riesling Spatlese
Score: 87.0
"Restrained and almost too subtle, yet finely structured, lightly sweet and tangy. Its like a liquid pippin apple. Sculptured, proportioned, easy to drink, both as an aperitif and with stir-fried vegetables and chicken, sweet-and-sour pork and other Asian dishes."
|
1998 Schloss Castell
Franken [Germany] Muller-Thurgau Qualitatswein Trocken
Score: 91.0
"Quite simply the best Muller-Thurgau of my experience. Delicate, fragrant nose of white melon and freshly mown green grass, with the added attraction of mineral notes on the palate, dry, light and lively. Superb balance. Pair with delicate fish like sole, or with mild cheese."
|
1998 Schloss Vollrads
Rheingau [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 89.0
"Incredibly floral, multi-faceted fruit (lychee, strawberry, apricot). Sweet, but balanced by good acidity and a pleasant bitterness, and revealing more and more through an incredibly long, luxurious finish. Amazing for the price. Pair with pound cake."
|
1998 Schloss Saarstein
Serriger Schloss Saarsteiner Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Qualitatswein
Score: 86.0
"light, crisp and spritzy, almost dry, reminiscent of pippin apples. Very refreshing. Pair with fish, sausage, or pork."
|
1998 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt
[Germany] Riesling estate
Score: 87.0
"Lovely fruit, melon and apple, crisp and well balanced, nearly dry, with a mouthwatering finish. The perfect accompaniment for grilled sea bass or swordfish."
|
1998 Dr. Basserman-Jordan
Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten Pfalz [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 82.0
"Intense, complex and all over the board-a muddled melange of apricot, apple and nuts, sweet, intense but undisiplined on the palate. Served well-chilled, it makes an interesting aperitif. Also goes well with fried rice. "
|
1998 Valckenberg
Rheinhessen [Germany] Murrler-Thurgau Qualitatswein
Score: 84.0
"Medium bodied and fragrant, slightly sweet fruit (honey and melon) balanced by firm acidity and a bit of spritz, it finishes a bit short, but its a great value. Makes a good aperitif."
|
1998 Schloss Wallhausen
Nahe [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 76.0
"Rather thin, light apple, barely off-dry, pleasant though unremarkable."
|
1998 Graff
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 75.0
"Aromatic Granny Smith apples, dry on the palate, simple and pleasant. Pair with chili, hot dogs and bratwurst."
|
1998 Baron Knyphausen
[Germany] Riesling
Score: 82.0
"Pleasant quaff with sweet appley fruit and decent balance, though one dimensional. Makes an aperitif that will appeal to just about anyone. "
|
1998 Dr. Burklin-Wolf
Forster Pfalz [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 78.0
"The good points-intense fruit and great lenght. The bad points-High SO2 ruins the nose, and the fruit-acid balance is off. Another disappointment from a usually fine producer."
