Wine, food, cooking and accessories

Wine Spectator recently tasted the 2007 vintage range of wines from von Schleinitz with positive results:

Koberner Weissenberg Rielsing Spätlese – 91
“Firm and focused, with peach and citrus notes matched to ample flesh in the middle. It’s all nicely balanced, with a plenty of mineral on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2016″

Koberner Weisenberg Riesling Spätlese – 91 Points
“Rich and shot through with mineral, giving a more savory, spicy impression than fruit. The slate element is complemented by peach and grapefruit, with a juicy acidity that says, “Drink me.” Drink now through 2030.”

Koberner Weisenberg Riesling Kabinett – 90 Points
“There’s an austerity about this kabinett, though it’s elegant and well-integrated. Peach, nectarine and grapefruit flavors hold court with a lining of mineral, followed by a nice salty aftertaste. Drink now through 2022.”

Slatestone Riesling QbA – 84 Points
“An open, easy white, off dry and offering light apple, grapefruit and spice flavors. Modest length. Drink now.”
