Pfalz, Riesling, Peter Mertes KG Weinkellerei, Lieblich 2014

So, I am starting to 'officially' taste wines :)


Wine Name: Morio-Muskat
Harvest Year: 2014
Region: Pfalz, Deutschland
Flavor classification: Lieblich (sweet)
Quality classification: Deutscher Qualitätswein
Vintner: Peter Mertes KG Weinkellerei, D-54470 Bernkastel-Kues
Price: €2,19 on sale

Appraisal:

When I first opened this wine, I did not like it at all. It seemed too dry. The next day, after it aired some, it tasted much better. Sometimes, or more often, a wine needs to breath to reach the potential that it has inside. For this wine this was definitely the case. It was on sale so I thought it was just for drinking quickly but turned out to be rather drinkable.

Color: Pale
Aroma: Green, dry (smells a little like a Chardonay)
Taste: 1st day, too dry
           2nd day, much better!
Style: Crisp, Pear

My evaluation follows:

Nose(1-5):           3
Flavor(1-25):      19
Character(1-10): 5
Balance(1-5):      3
Length(1-5):       4
Total(Total+50): 84
