JL Wolf Wachenheimer Riesling 2001

JL Wolf Wachenheimer Riesling (Pfalz) 2001: Ernst Loosen is the man behind the JL Wolf label. This is Riesling in very much a modern style, fermented out to dryness, with a consequent 12.5% alcohol. A good colour with the green tinge of the Riesling grape. Full and expressive on the nose, with a tropical, mango and nectarine profile to the fruit, with a twist of citrus freshness. Rich and flavoursome on the palate, nicely balanced, with good fresh acidity, considerable body, although not much grip. But this isn't a criticism, merely a comment on style. 15.5/20 (27/6/03)
