2008 Loosen Bros. Riesling “DR. L”
(2009-10-22 01:58:35 UTC) buddy icon 2008 Loosen Bros. Riesling “DR. L” 92/100

Color: Golden white / Crystal
Hue: A step back from pale

Nose: Minerals, river rock, slight acid, light pear, honeysuckle

Taste: Sweet at front - Granny Smiths & Honeydew, Delightful German Pilsner lager bitterness on back end.

Flavor occurs: Tip of tongue and rearmost edges

Body: Light, glides over palette
Finish: Quick
Sweetness: Like ripe Granny Smith apples

Additional notes: THIS is a riesling that really excites me. It doesn't overplay the sweetness, the Pilsner back end is a nice surprise. I'm only disappointed that it's called "Dr. L" and not "Dr. J"

*edit*
Split the difference of 85 and 87 with an 86. It's slightly more alluring than "drinkable and unobjectionable."

Ken commented on a grape:

Medium Albariño

Loved this immediately. Thanks to Gary for featuring this one on WLTV recently... I've been wanting to break out of chards and wasn't sure where in whites to go. This was just the ticket.

Hey GV! (Calling you GV is cool, right?) Love the redesign of the site here. I joined corkd back in... 2006, a few months before my 21st after *ahem* I somehow acquired a pinot grigio and carmenere blend. Went inactive shortly thereafter, but am glad to be back now and legally so!
