Tasting of sweet German Rieslings at Watson's Wine Cellar, hosted by Katharina Staab - the current German Wine Queen.
1992 Wegeler Oestricher Doosberg Riesling Auslese - grassy, sugar cane, ripe pineapple, and marzipan. Lots of sweetness but also plenty of acidity on the palate.
1993 Diel Riesling Eiswein - very intense nose of pollen, plastic, honey, marmalade. Viscous on the palate.
2012 Max Ferd. Richter Mülheimer Helenenkloster Riesling Eiswein - very elegant and floral, with white flowers, young dried tangerine peel, a little polyurethane, and still a little pungent on the nose. Lots of sugar and more concentrated on the palate, with mandarin notes.
2011 Keller Cuvee Trockenbeerenauslese - polyurethane, marmalade, honey, dried apricot notes. Sweet but has enough acidity here.
2008 Gunderloch Nackenheimer Rothenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese - intense nose of honey, honeydew melon, a little floral, with plastic glue notes. Very thick and viscous on the palate, almost chewy. Really sweet and totally up my alley.
2007 Max Ferd. Richter Graacher Dompropst Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese - a little pungent plastic, a little more floral, with orange blossom. Really ripe with lots of botrytis.
1992 Wegeler Oestricher Doosberg Riesling Auslese - grassy, sugar cane, ripe pineapple, and marzipan. Lots of sweetness but also plenty of acidity on the palate.
2012 Max Ferd. Richter Mülheimer Helenenkloster Riesling Eiswein - very elegant and floral, with white flowers, young dried tangerine peel, a little polyurethane, and still a little pungent on the nose. Lots of sugar and more concentrated on the palate, with mandarin notes.
