Honey-lemon wine
Wine: Jean Geiler Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg (2005) - Riesling
Reviewed: 29-Sep-2007
- Wine Rating: 45%
- Dryness: 7 - Medium Sweet
Very light honeyed-marzipan scent, with lightweight lemony-camomile taste. Bad first impressions thanks to unsuccessful food pairing which made the wine taste almost entirely of alcoholic tang.
Intriguing wine
Wine: The Maverick (2006) - Bellingham - Chenin Blanc
Reviewed: 08-Sep-2007
- Wine Rating: 70%
- Dryness: 2 - Dry
Dry, mineral scent. Intriguing, low-key spiciness to wine, a rather dry minerality with light fruity notes - apples, grapefruit - which mature before the minerality dominates again.
