Light gold color with green hue. Nose of petroleum, lime, pine tree and rocks. On the palate it is quite fat (Vaseline?), hint of minerals and green with pine and dry herbs flavors, acidity and fruit on the finish. A type of Riesling I’m not having that often, more opulent and ripe, but quite tasty. Very good+ (90)
Drank along a Tonschiefer Riesling Trocken 2012 from Dönnhoff, this Mesh Riesling was the group favorite, but mine was the Dönnhoff for its higher acidity level and the additional “bite” it has.

Great Aussie red. Generous, but varietal and calmly powerful. — 11 years ago
Still -- hell, more than ever -- the best riesling producer in the new world aside from Grosset. Better than most old world producers too. Subtle petrol, heavier on the river rock and slate, with ripping acidity that pares the musky apricot, tropical fruit and lime down to the barest, leanest essence. So dry it makes FX Pichler look like Columbia Crest, and a glassy, electric finish that goes for minutes. Considering his 2006 is still probably a decade away from maturity, this is also young by a fair piece, but far from hard to drink. And I'm not just saying that because it's my wife's and my wedding wine. Shoulda been there, suckers. — 10 years ago
