Harmonious aromas of citrus fruit, acacia honey and spice. Tropical fruit flavors show a subtle complexity, along with good depth and firm acidity. The lively finish makes this fun to drink A fine effort.

Fruity
By Walter12524259, December 03, 2008
I found this wine to have a lovely lemon curd taste - slightly sweet, but not cloying, as some sweet wines can be. It would be great with fruits or light cheeses. I want to open the other three bottles, but am also interested in saving it to see how it ages.

Fantastic Wine

I have tasted several 2007 Rieslings now, and while it is obvious that this is going to be a superb vintage, some of these wines will not be ready for at least a decade. The Ratzenberger is one of the few that is drinking beautifully now and has that potential to age. None of the excessive sulfur either.

Lovely Riesling

Faultless; great balance of acid and phenolic structure with kiss of sweetness.

Mistaken for a 2003
By Ami de Calvados, November 16, 2008
I brought a bottle of this along to a "boys weekend" recently, not knowing the expertise and preference of most of the others. It turned out that two other guests were big fans of Riesling who had traveled extensively in Germany and knew a lot more about Riesling than I did. They both mistook this for a 2003. That says it all, this wine is a real find and a joy to taste.

a little sweet?
By Sanders12096108, December 02, 2008
This Riesling has some nice harmonies, but inital impression is of somewhat overwhelming sweetness. Will be interesting to retry in a few years
