WTN: A Wintrich of the Tail

by David M. Bueker » Wed Feb 08, 2023 2:35 pm

2020 Weingut Günther Steinmetz Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling "GW" - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (2/8/2023)
I don't normally look at other CellarTracker notes before writing my own, but I happened to glance at the two on this wine, and I wondered if we were drinking the same wine. There was nothing understated about this wine, on the nose or the palate. When I first opened it, and through the two days I drank it there was a vibrant orange spritz aroma along with some more tropical elements - pineapple and ripe lime. Veering to the sweeter end of the trocken scale, what really impressed me was the palate presence/body of the wine. It felt a lot like the more full bodied Rieslings of the Wachau. Impressive wine that hit the right buttons for me as a long time fan of the Ohligsberg.

Yes, so tough to know how to interpret comments like that on Cellartracker, without a sense of the person's palate/experience. Still, with a healthy dose of skepticism around each note, on balance I am happy to have the resource.
