Yeah, Im the rummie...the cocktail guy. But, I want the erudite wine master, David Taylor , to be on notice that tonight I am doing something different. Yes, I am swearing off my swashbuckling, rum swilling ways to embrace a more civil palate. David, I have cracked open a bottle of Reinhold Haart Piesporter Riesling (2007). And may I say...the Haart 2007 Piesporter Riesling smells of pear, grapefruit, and pineapple. Rather soft and pliable on the palate -- particularly in direct comparison with the corresponding Grafenberg -- this nonetheless has a soothing, elegant, and delicate personality and finishes with a long, lovely if low-energy counterpoint of rich, ripe fruit; faint nuttiness and black fruit tartness; and saline and wet stone mineral expressions. :)
