Wine Reviewed Bollig-Lehnert Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese 2009 8 % alcohol about $20.
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Description : There’s a certain poetry to many of the German vineyard names. For example, Goldtröpfchen means ‘little drop of gold’. Tasting Note : Elegant, showing a restrained sense of power. Aromas of savory spice and fennel, with flavors of apple, green peach and Asian pear. Mineral notes linger on the crisp finish. Drink now. Score – 91. (Bruce Sanderson at the Wine Spectator web site, Web Only, 2011).” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine offered a fine combination of sweetness and acidity. I sensed both lemon and lime. It was powerful. The initial meal was quiche time. In response to the homemade eggplant and cottage cheese quiche with sesame seeds on the top the libation’s acidity stepped up. It was long. The homemade mushroom, cottage cheese, and tomato quiche with sesame seeds on the top rendered the drink’s acidity very powerful. I tasted lime and some honey. The side dish of eggplants, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms rendered our German friend quite balanced and floral as well. I had to remind myself not to overdo it and drink too much. For dessert I indulged in a vanilla ice cream bar with a rich chocolate coating. The liquid was weakened but not devastated.
