Gustav Dickenscheid Rheinhessen Ockenheimer Schönhölle Riesling Spätlese 1993


Gustav Dickenscheid Rheinhessen Ockenheimer Schönhölle Riesling Spätlese 1993

We confess we never know when to stop when it comes to transcribing the names of German wines off of the traditional German labels...

In any event, this was quite spectacular, after 12 years in the bottle. It had a gorgeous golden colour, and was a splending example of a high-quality Riesling, with apricot and what some people characterize as petroleum (but in a good way!) flavours. We rate it 9/10. And we may just have another bottle of it tucked away yet...
