* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

It’s an impressive achievement to be able to make 10,000 cases of Mosel Riesling this good and this representative. Apple blossoms and citrus fruits are hallmarks of the region and this wine is true to type, with slightly sweet flavors enlivened by a touch of unreleased carbon dioxide.

The aromas burst from the glass, a bold kaleidoscope of limes, peaches and minerals, but it’s sweet and a bit soft on the palate, lacking cut and precision. Hold a few years, hoping it will emerge from this babyfat stage into a sleeker, more refined bottling.

Boasts classic Mosel Riesling aromas and flavors—lime, pineapple, green apple, maybe a touch of honey—all at an eminently reasonable price. Though richer and creamier than you might expect, the weight is balanced by crisp acidity on the long finish.

A good value among spätlesen, Mönchhof’s 2005 Mosel Slate avoids the superripeness of the vintage, instead staying true to type. Hints of kerosene give a slate-like impression, layered over crisp lime and apple flavors. It’s lithe and sinuous, ending crisp and racy.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

The Mönchhof style tends towards richness and sweetness, and this wine is no exception. That said, it’s not overdone, blending the lightness of flower-shop greenery with notes of berry and citrus. Finishes long, with echoes of pineapple and crushed stone.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

With 3,000 cases imported into the U.S., consumers should still be able to track down some of this sweet, luscious spätlese. Citrus and custard notes mark the nose, followed by rich, tropical elements, even some hints of banana. Despite the sugary richness, the wine ends clean and refreshing, thanks to a burst of lime on the finish.

This delectable kabinett starts off with amazingly pure scents of crushed stone, lime and apple, then follows up with flavors of strawberries to go with more apples and limes. It’s medium-bodied, slightly sweet but with the crispness to balance its sugars. Finishes pristine and fresh. Drink now-2016.
