2001 Von Hövel Oberemmeler Hütte Riesling Spätlese

The best spatlese I have ever had, dwarfing even the J.J. Prum from the same vintage. A buzz saw of gorge water and river rocks only amplifies the unfolding layers of fruit and spice. Caramel apple and lemon curd melt into a finish that then delivers a gorgeous, clear note of macadamia nut cookie. This [...]

2001 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese

2008 Weingut Josef Leitz Riesling Eins Zwei Dry “3″

The nose is a lovely combination of asian pear, hibiscus and slate. It has more citrus on the palate, lemon, plus pears and shortbread. Jerk chicken would be a perfect match.
