Riesling Wine Tasting Notes

1999 S.A. Prum
Graacher Himmelreich Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Spatlese
Score: 87.0
"Honey, apricot, full-bodied and sweet with good balancing acidity and a hint of botrytis. Serve with the cheese course."

1999 Schloss Saarstein
Serriger Schloss Saarsteiner Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling
Score: 89.0
"There is an ineffable quality about this wine that immediately transports you into the cellars of the estate; it simply reeks of 'Place.' Slatey, fruity (apple and apricot), sweet yet crisp, this wine declares its pedigree. "

1999 Graff
Erdener Treppchen Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Spatlese
Score: 81.0
" Full-bodied, quite sweet, apple and citrus fruit. Decent balance, though simple. A pleasant quaff if chilled. "

1999 Baron zu Knyphausen
Rheingau [Germany] Riesling
Score: 85.0
Honeysuckle aromas and flavors in a medium-bodied Riesling with a touch of sweet spice character and threshold residual sweetness on the palate. Nice aperitif.

1999 Baron von Heyl Freiherr Heyl Zu Herrnsheim
[Germany] Riesling
Score: 84.0
"On the threshold between dry and barely sweet, the fruit in this Riesling is more prominent on the palate than in the nose, and it has a mouthwatering apple-pear flavor that lingers for a while. Good as an aperitif or with chicken or pork."

1999 "Dr. L, Loosen Bros."
Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling
Score: 82.0
" Like sweet apple juice with pleasant acidity. A nice quaff with lots of fruit and intensity, but quite simple at the same time."

1999 Graff
Graacher Himmelreich Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 89.0
"Not shy or retiring, this beauty is slightly sweet with an aromatic nose of tart apples and hemp rope, light spice and a tart finish. Nicely structured and eminently drinkable."

1997 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt
Josephshoffer (umlaut over the o) Riesling Spatlese (umlaut over the a)
Score: 91.0
"Bright, sweet yet tart red apple character, medium body, clean minerally finish. A class match for fish."
