| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
PAUMANOK |
| Bright pale straw colour. Fairly intense, spicy, mineral-tinged, schisty, lemon-apple nose. Dry, medium-light bodied, slightly spicy, tangy, fresh, lemon-apple-melon flavours with a very crisp, high acid, mineral-tinged finish. TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points - Spicy, petrol ad lime nose with a honeyed note; light to medium-bodied, crisply dry, lime and grapefruit flavours; good length but a touch brittle on the finish. Has 12.6% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. The Vintages Catalogue quotes Mark Squires (90-points Robert Parker) who incorrectly claims that the alcohol is 11%. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Dry Riesling comes in at 11% alcohol and just three grams per liter of residual sugar. If last year's version seemed stony and slightly austere, this ups the ante. Laced with a bit of flint, this finishes with a touch of lemon. In between, the big burst of acidity grips the tongue and makes it clear that this is a food wine, not a casual sipper. Modest in body and big in power, this unevolved and rather austere Riesling could use a year in the cellar because the fruit is just a bit difficult to find now. In many respects, however, this is mightily impressive--have your expectations in order and don't think of cracking it for a simple sip on the porch. Drink Date: 2016-2025. Score -90 (Mark Squires, robertparker.com, Aug. 30, 2016) |
