Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling 2006

Honeysickle and lemon on the nose, while mineral, crisp and acidic on the palate. Powerful, even after trying many wines last night. Wonderful. Three and a half out of five stars.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling Reserve 2005

Very pronounced mineral notes on the nose, with some apple underneath. On the palate, the mineral stood out though the fruit characteristics were hidden by the acidic nature of the wine. It was almost necessary to have this wine with a meal -- the acid was so strong, that I could not imagine having it alone. I also suspect that it would have been fantastic if I waited a few more years before opening. Three and a half out of five stars (and wishing that I had bought another bottle).
