"Harvested at 104 Oeschle and fermented to 8% alcohol, the nutmeg, Japanese melon, and tangerine-scented 2001 Riesling Spatlese Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg impressively contrasts richness with delineation. Juicy apples, spicy botrytis, white peaches, and hints of tropical fruits emerge from its dense, concentrated core. This extracted, powerful, lush offering has enormous density yet retains the vintage's tell-tale purity and focus." Wine Advocate #144, Dec 2002 |
