點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2260

The von Hovel 2007 Riesling Balduin von Hovel is full of fresh apple and cherry with hints of lime and wet stone. Only 8% alcohol, thus we may rest assured balancing far more residual sugar than appears in the form of sweetness, this simple, generous Saar Riesling finishes with an especially refreshing burst of citrus. I would plan to drink it within 12-18 months for its fruity charm.Imported by Rudi Wiest, Cellars International, Carlsbad, CA; tel. 800-596-9463

A terrific value, Von Hovel’s basic Riesling offers consumers a chance to taste the mineral nature of the Saar’s terroir. Notes of slate are almost smoky in their intensity, while the fruit is vibrant and laser-etched in its precision. The apple and lime flavors are delivered aboard a creamy-textured palate, balanced by crisp acids on the off-dry finish. ——J.C.(10/1/2009)—— 90
