Theo Minges Gleisweiler Holle Scheurebe Spatlese, Pfalz, Germany

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2608

Sage and grapefruit mark the nose of Minges’ 2007 Gleisweiler Holle Scheurebe Spatlese, reminding one of the extent to which this grape, Muscat, Sauvignon, and (in the Pfalz) sometimes even Rieslaner can resemble one another. In the mouth, the impression is of sweet herbal-concentrate and grapefruit marmalade, with resinous, bitter-sweet notes carrying into an overtly sweet, yet at the same time faintly drying finish. The strong points of this wine are its aromas and initial attack, and I would plan on enjoying it over the next 3-4 years, and hence necessarily in contexts where considerable sweetness is desired. For the most part, Theo Minges achieved admirable results in 2007, a vintage he saw as playing into his hand by promoting inherent clarity, nuance, and “energy, so that all you had to do in the cellar was direct it.”Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
