Peter Scherf Waldracher Krone Riesling Auslese 1989

Peter Scherf Waldracher Krone Riesling Auslese (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) 1989: A fairly rich colour to this wine for the Mosel. The nose immediately gives off classic aromas of limes with a steely edge, and then delicious petrolly aromas begin to dominate. These fade a little after a while. On tasting the wine, the forepalate is bright and vivacious, positively singing as it hits the palate. It builds body on the midpalate, with rich, honeyed lemons and limes, and even a touch of tropical fruits. There is a luscious edge, set against slightly jarring but otherwise perfectly fine acidity. Flavoursome finish and nice length. Very good. AP Nr. 3 562 088 004 90 (28/6/01)
