Wine List: Top Ten Best Rieslings

Top Ten Best Rieslings

6. Georg Albrecht Schneider Riesling Spätlese Niersteiner Hipping (2011)

« Prev Next » 6 of 10

Average price: $16.⁸⁴ from 14 stores

This has an arresting note of sweet jasmine-laced lemon preserves on the nose that gains nuanced orange, peach and pineapple complexity with air. Just lovely. Pretty sweet in the mouth, this is rich and powerful with an explosion of apricot and peach on entry that is followed by tropical orange and pineapple flavors that finish with nearly candied sweetness and honey flavors. I shouldn't like this, I should think that this is too sweet, and if I drank much more I would think that, but in small doses this is delicious. A bit of a fruit bomb but with shadings of mineral and herb adding complexity. The finish is a touch short if one has to nitpick. 90pts
