98 WA. "The medium to full-bodied 2001 Riesling Spatlese Niederhauser Hermannshohle is the greatest Spatlese I've ever tasted. Its liquid mineral and spice scents lead to a mind boggling personality of otherworldly richness, depth, and concentration. This massive yet intensely pure wine bastes the taster's palate with oily layers of minerals, almonds, earth, and smoky slate whose flavors are seemingly unending (unendlich, as F. X. Pichler, Austria's superstar winemaker, says). This is a prodigious, benchmark-setting effort." Wine Advocate #143, Oct 2002 |
