Expert Reviews
Taking its accustomed place at the head of the class as it has in so many past vintages, this latest rendition from Chateau Ste. Michelle and Ernst Loosen is a remarkable wine of impeccable balance and stunning depth. Slightly sweet and buoyed by fine fruity acids, it smells of honeysuckle, white peaches and minerals and follows with long, compact, layered flavors that presently only hint at the richness to come. Top-notch Riesling is capable of great beauty and complexity with age, and, we have no doubt that the greatness lurking here will gradually become more and more evident with time. GOOD VALUE
Bright, pale yellow. Pungent aromas of lime, yellow peach and crushed rock, complicated by a tropical fruit nuance. Juicy, spicy and intense, with ripe acids framing the rather laid-back flavors of apricot, apricot, ginger and exotic herbs. Took on a more creamy texture as it opened in the glass but still comes across as more or less dry. Finishes with a persistent pineapple flavor and good dusty, tactile grip. Classy riesling.
