The style at Pauly-Bergweiler leans toward ultraripe, and this wine is no exception, boasting sweet, lush flavors of honeyed melons and pears that verge on fatness. Thankfully, there’s a touch of unreleased CO2 to help provide freshness and a just a hint of grapefruit on the finish—enough to give the wine some focus. ——J.C.(12/1/2006)—— 89
