| 75 | | | 96 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | The best of all possible worlds when it comes to German Riesling has to be Spätlese Trocken. The ripe fruit character combined with the dry finish makes for one of the most satisfying combinations in a bottle of wine. Taste one of these, and all memory of liquefied lollipops masquerading as Riesling will be banished from your brain. This is a classic example, showing a lovely golden color and a tangerine/kumquat aroma, with just a hint of the diesel character that Rieslings often acquire with time. Complexity defines the palate, which shows volumes of exotic fruit, minerality and acidity, all stitched together in a fine balancing act. The vineyard’s red slate soil is credited with imparting to the wine its substantial mineraltiy. Mouthwatering, compelling, delicious, and nearly impossible to stop sipping. Great value. Foods: cold Asian noodles, with peanut sauce and sesame seeds; spicy tangerine chicken, almost any not too spicy Asian pork or seafood dish; although Asian style lamb and beef dishes would be good, too, if prepared with ginger and mild spice; roast pork; sautéed pork steaks or chicken breasts with whole-grain mustard cream sauce; grilled sausages and caramelized onions; sauerbraten; venison with dark gingersnap sauce.
