Heart & Hands Riesling Paul's Legacy

Prior bottle was almost 11 months ago and the wine continues to show quite well. Pear, white apple and citrus, especially lemon, on the nose as well as a distinct chalk note. Medium bodied with white apple and pear upfront, adding white peach through the middle and finishing with lemon, lime and minerals. The density through the middle continues to match well with the acidity and citrus on the backside. The white peach was a bit more distinct this time …

Prior bottle was 9 months ago and my notes were virtually identical. White pear, apple and lemon notes on the nose. Medium bodied with a mix of brighter white pear and more rounded white apple upfront. Adds a bit of depth through the mid-body along with some white peach notes towards the back. Lemon and other citrus notes as well as good acidity behind. Opens up well over the course of three hours. Shows good overall fruit expression and should …

Prior bottle was 9 months ago and the wine remains in a very good spot (glass cork). More apple and pear on the nose this time (served a bit cooler), with the white peach again coming in as it warmed. Medium bodied with virtually the identical flavor profile of white apple and white pear upfront (with a good bit of brightness/acidity), broadening through the middle with white peach and adding depth along with tropical highlights. Backside shows tart citrus (especially …

Prior bottle was just over a year ago and my notes were virtually identical. Pear, apple and mineral notes on the nose with more and more white peach as it warms. Medium bodied with white apple and pear upfront, broadening through the middle with white peach. Backside shows orange notes and tart tropical qualities. Then shifts to citrus (especially lemon) and very good acidity through the finish. Fruit retains excellent definition, acidity continues to be a positive contributor to both …

Prior bottle was almost nine months ago and my notes were consistent. Pear and apple along with white peach and mineral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with white pear and white apple upfront, gaining depth through the middle, combined with contrast supplied by lightly tart white peach. There's a good deal more complexity lurking in the background here that as the wine opened up, showed hints of softer orchard fruits and tart tropical qualities. Lots of lemon and good …

Lime, zip, tropics, great dinner sips with shrimp pasta

Tasted at the winery. Previously tasted from bottle only three days ago, so this was a very informative tasting. Pear, apple, light peach and mineral notes on the nose. Decidedly more aromatic than what I tried from bottle (which was probably too cold). Medium bodied with apple and pear upfront, better depth through the middle than my bottle showed and also allowed the peach notes through the middle to be more clearly expressed. Backside shows tart citrus, mineral qualities and …

Previously tasted five months ago at the winery and my notes were consistent. Pear and melon on the nose, but feels a bit closed at this stage - should be more aromatic in the future. Combination of apple, pear and melon, both upfront and through the middle. There's a good amount of tartness at the present stage and the mid-body still feels slightly closed. Acidity, mineral notes, lemon and spices on the finish. This should come together over the next …

Popped and poured. Faint aroma of apricots. Flavors of stone fruit, minerals, and a touch of petrol. Tart citrus in the finish. Attractive flavors, firm backbone, some complexity, very tight. Really good, but I think I drank it way too early.

FLX TRIP NOTES; 7/4/2019-7/31/2019 : Very serious from the start, mosel feinherb feel (11gRS/8g acidity) - savory herb (sage?) light peach. hint of yellow grapefruit and melon. more pear and peach on the back with a hint of cream.

Tasted at the winery. Pear, melon and mixed white orchard fruit on the nose. Medium bodied (11.1% ABV) with pear and melon upfront, adding white apple through the middle. There's good depth here, especially for the vintage. Adding acidity, mineral and citrus notes on the backside works very well with the upfront fruit. Like the 2017 Dry Riesling, the way in which the various components are blended together creates a very enjoyable fruit expression. I will probably try my first …
