Sweet #Rheingau #wine from Germany: 2008 : http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Auslese. Producer: Weinhaus Markus Störzel, Marktstraße 28, D-65385, Rüdesheim/Rhein. Vintage: 2008. Purchased from a Weinstub. Appearance quite pale pastille yellow, thin and receding on glass with sweetish riesling, quite grassy, soft, candy cigarettes aromatics. The attack is soft, sweet-ish, tropical fruits on the tip of the tongue and tastes weaker than it is. Evolution: Bananas, pineapple, loads of honey with a finish which is honey in nose, fruit juice on swallow. Sweetness: 2.5. Acidity: 2.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is thick and velvety and the length is excellent and very varied. As for balance, it's a tiny bit flabby for a riesling – it could do with a little more acidity, but it's very pleasant. The wine has a screwcap closure and is 13% abv. Overall, this is a nice wine. Would have benefited from a cork and a few more years' bottle age. It's very tasty and drinkable, but not overly complex. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 81 points.
