2007 Dönnhoff Norheimer Dellchen Riesling Großes Gewächs trocken – Germany, Nahe (11/4/2008) Slate, wet stones, ripe yellow fruit on the honeyed, enjoyable nose. On the penetrating and intense palate searing citruslike acidity, masses of ripe fruit, minerals and a distinct smokey element. Lingering after-taste. Very primary, but already enjoyable. Might merit a higher score in time. (94 pts.)
2007 Van Volxem Wawerner Goldberg Riesling Erste Lage – Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (10/13/2008) Heather honey, ripe yellow fruit and minerals on the delicious nose. Broad, but fresh palate, with honey, fruit, minerals, spices, lots of glycerol. Young but already expressive. Delicious in its youthful exuberance, but clearly holding back for more. Again a success for 2007. (93 pts.)
2007 Weingut Keller Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs – Germany, Rheinhessen (10/18/2008) Slate, lychee and minerals on the restrained nose. Ripe yellow fruit (lychee, melon), lemon peel, stones, refreshing citruslike acidity and a hint of smoke on the still primary palate. Delicious in its youth, but still very primary and fruit-driven. Good balance and depth, great future. Leave well alone. > Read more …
