Wine Review Archive - Germany Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
($28).
Outstanding for its complexity and length,
offering floral-scented peach and pear
flavors, with excellent mineral character
and mouthwatering acidity. Ready to drink
now and over the next 10+ years. (World
Wide Wine 10/05)
($24). Complex layers of
lush white peach, honeysuckle and grated
nutmeg stay focused and clean on the
long, pretty finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next four or five years.
(World Wide Wine 10/05)
($40). Lush caramel
and wildflower honey notes lace ripe
peach and citrus fruit. Finishes long
with a hint of warm spice. Ready to
drink now and over the next 10+ years.
(World Wide Wine 10/05)
($10). Offers racy apple and peach flavors
on a creamy frame. Finishes with light
mineral and herbal notes. Easy to enjoy!
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine, 10/04)
($21). This is the workhorse
wine from Dr. Pauly, with the "house
style" juicy apple and white peach
flavors accented with pretty mineral
notes on the lithe finish. Ready to
drink now and over the next three or
four years. (Weekend Wine 10/05)
($26). Deftly
balanced, with ripe apricot and peach
flavors dancing against clove and exotic
spices and fresh, citrusy acidity. Mineral
notes emerge on the finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next 10+ years. (Weekend
Wine 10/05)
($28). Noticeably
sweeter than the Bernkasteler Badstube
Spatlese, but with mouthwatering acidity
and racy mineral notes that keep everything
in balance. Sweet peach, apricot and wildflower
honey note are lush and finish long. Ready
to drink now and over the next 12+ years.
(Weekend Wine 10/05)
($30). Appealing spicy/honey
note supports voluptuous peach and apple
pie flavors, with a burst of fresh acidity
that balances the long finish. Ready to
drink now and over the next 10+ years.
(Weekend Wine 10/05)
($48).
Rich and ripe, with sweet, concentrated
apricot flavors laced with toffee and
toasty vanilla notes that linger on the
generous finish. Quite ripe, but still
pretty and balanced. Ready to drink now
and over the next 15+ years. (Weekend
Wine 10/05)
($18).
Delicious! With racy citrus and juicy
peach fruit taking center stage, along
with flint and herbal accents. Ready to
drink now and over the next four years.
(Robyn's Picks, 04/04)
($72). This
is a clean, velvet-gloved punch of an
Eiswein. Wonderful acidity, just a touch
of grass, and waves of sweet peach and
pineapple (maybe even a touch of kiwi?)
combine to lovely results. Very nice lingering
finish, too! Drink now and for the next
five years. (Wine Tasting Party, 06/00)
($13). Simple but easy to like, with
juicy citrus and stone fruit flavors,
picking up a hint of mineral on the
moderate finish. Ready to drink now.
(World Wide Wine 10/05)
($150, 375 ml).
Rich dried apricot and peach fruit is
laced with caramel and orange zest and
honey flavors. Still shows a dash of racy
acidity on the sweet, syrupy finish. Ready
to drink now and over the next couple
of years. (World Wide Wine 10/05)
($10). Juicy, mouthwatering peach
flavors and aromas are laced with
touches of cream and mineral - all
lingering on an appealing finish.
A great value from this famed German
producer. Ready to drink now. (Robyn's
Picks 06/06)
($38).
Complex aromas include roses, orange
zest and a touch of resin, with ripe
peach and apricot flavors layered
with honey and mineral. Folds into
an elegant, dry finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next five or six
years. (Robyn's Picks 06/06)
($16). Dry, mineral, tart character
on finish reigns in ripe, lush tangerine,
peach and apricot fruit. Really good
with Indian curry. Ready to drink
now and over the next couple of years.
(Weekend Wine 05/05)
($26). A great example of
an off-dry Riesling with loads of
bright acidity and fruity freshness
to keep things balanced. Honeysuckle,
apricot, nectarine, juicy citrus --
all here in marvelous proportion.
Lush, focused finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next ten years. (Weekend
Wine 05/05)
($155,
375 ml). Deeply aromatic and voluptuous,
with honeyed apricot, wildflowers
and candied citrus. Racy acidity keeps
things focused and mouthwatering through
the complex finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next four or five
years. (Robyn's Picks 06/06)
($35). Wonderful flavors
of dried apricot, fresh peach, tangerine,
and honey combine with a bit of earthiness
to make a very enjoyable Auslese. A
big, velvety finish makes each sip better
than the one before. Excellent now,
and should cellar nicely for five to
ten years. (Wine Tasting Party, 06/00)
($22). Wow, this is
a knockout wine. It is an elegant balance
of sweet pineapple, tangy citrus, and
mineral. It’s powerful flavor is
matched only by the lingering, on-and-on
finish. Excellent now and should age
nicely for at least four or five years.
(Wine Tasting Party, 06/00)
($15). Fresh and juicy, with crisp apple
and aromatic honeysuckle notes. Finishes
with a mineral accent. Ready to drink
now. (World Wide Wine 10/05)
($20).
Absolutely loved this wine! With its crisp
apple flavors mingling with juicy citrus
and stone fruit. A hint of richness adds
complexity to the otherwise crisp, dry
finish. Ready to drink now and over the
next couple of years. (World Wide Wine
10/05)
($20). Sleek nectarine, orange blossom,
and spice, with generous dry mineral accents
that linger on the finish. Ready to drink
now. (Robyn's Picks, 04/04)
($29). Rich and fleshy,
with guava and apricot flavors on a
creamy custard frame. Lovely finish
lingers with bright acidity. Ready to
drink now and over the next seven or
eight years. (World Wide Wine 10/05)
($17). Just a mouthwatering
wine, with delicious honeyed apricot,
lime zest and orange blossom flavors mingling
on a racy frame. Focused finish lingers
delightfully. Ready to drink now and over
the next three or four years. (World Wide
Wine 10/05)
