2002 Bert Simon Serriger Würtzberg Riesling Auslese - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (2/1/2016)
– popped and poured –
– tasted non-blind over 2 days –
– AP #: 3 555 058 8 03 –
NOSE: expressive; lots of mineral tones; medium-strong petrol; tart apple; green pear; faint hints of baking spices.
BODY: color is still pale yellow — I’ll call it a rich pale yellow; medium-full to full bodied; no spritz.
TASTE: 8.5% alc.; medium+ acidity; somewhat light mouthfeel and low level of sweetness for an Auslese. DAY 2: hollow on mid-palate, and weak finish; a fantastic QPR @ $17, but I would stop short of calling this an excellent wine. Gut impression score: 88
