Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Riesling Kaseler Nies'chen Grosses Gewächs 2016
91 POINTS: David Schildknecht, Vinous.com
"The nose offers wet stone with a whiff of woodsmoke, hints of woodruff and anticipations of the honeydew melon, white currant, lemon and white peach that generously inform the buoyant, silken palate. This brings clarity and sheer juiciness to its exuberantly tingling finish – above an expanse of wet stone – that the corresponding village-level Kaseler doesn’t remotely approach." – David Schildknecht, Vinous.com
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
