2002 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese *Mosel Saar Ruwer more |
8/31/2013 - stevemn Likes this wine: 83 pointsMostly tastes of sweet fruit juices of pear and apple. Has some mineral flavors and a lush texture, but with so much sweetness and little verve, it tastes more like drinking a fruit juice blend rather than a fine wine. |

10/21/2012 - stevemn wrote: 91 pointsThe nose shows bright red cherries and possibly raspberries. On the pallet there is pure red fruit with good acidity and a slight herbal note. It finishes with drying and slightly astringent tannins and also nice, tart cherries and an herbal note. I didn't mind the herbal note and rather liked the drying finish and the rest of the wine was really tasty. |

10/31/2012 - stevemn wrote: 81 pointsA little funky aroma on the nose with no fruit aroma at all. Tastes mostly of smoke and char with very little berry. My guess is that this wine was originally boosted by dark toasted oak barrels but didn't have the fruit and structure to go with it. The fruit faded quickly and now it just tastes like charred oak. |

10/8/2012 - stevemn wrote: 94 pointsNose is closed off with noticeable red fruit and vanilla. On the pallet more flavors of ripe and tart cherries and raspberries. Wine body is very nice with a silky texture and with acidity to give the wine a good structure. The finish is long and clean with dark fruit. I really loved this wine. |

2006 Glencorrie Cuvée MarquisColumbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/1/2012 - stevemn wrote: 84 pointsAromas are of wine and grapes and vanilla. On the pallet the flavors are of syrupy sweet black and red fruit and spice and some vegetal flavors. The finish has a tough of dry tannins and sweet, somewhat syrupy fruit. Theyrupiness of the fruit brings down the score of an otherwise enjoyable wine. |
