Martinshof Ruländer Auslese (Pfalz) 2002


Martinshof Ruländer Auslese (Pfalz) 2002

Pale gold, with good legs; a lovely bouquet--it smells like a German wine, and yet not like a Riesling. And it tastes as lovely as it smells: it's sweet, but not cloying, with just the right touch of acidity and a nice hint of caramel. It has a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. We both love good German wines--and we both loved this one, one of those we ordered through the German Wine Society (which may well mean it's not available in North America, at least not readily).

Our rating (out of 10): 8.
