| From Rheingau, Germany
Medium golden colour. Aromas of petrol, lanolin, lemon rind, and honeycomb. Medium-full bodied, medium sweet, but not cloying due to wonderful acidity. Notes of crisp apple, white peach, lanolin, lemon, flint, pineapple, and papaya. Moderate-long finish, ~35-40s with flint and white pepper notes. 92 points (10/16/2004). | | | |

| Thanks for hte note. Rheinhartshausen has been down much of the last two decades, so it's good to see a note on one that performed well.
I hear the estate is making a comeback. I'm glad about that since it's a personal favorite. | | | |

| | We're having a bottle of this tonight at an offline in Ottawa, so I'll have a second note on it. Everyone that I know who's had it has loved it, so if you find some, it would be a good buy. It was released here not too long ago at $22CAD (about $18USD). Good deal for a 10 year old Riesling, if you ask me. | | | |

| At the Toronto offline:
The medium golden color indicated this wine had a little age on it, as did the petrol nose, but the wine delivered more than I expected before tasting it. It had a beautiful honey apple flavor with perfect balance. 91 | | | |
