AJ Adam, Drhoner, Riesling 2003

Awful.

A complete abomination of wine making.

Hot, with the smell of rubbing alcohol, then matchstick and onion skin. If I didn't know this was wine, I wouldn't drink it for fear of being poisoned.

Completely subverted, one might find some honeydew and golden plum.

Worse on the palate. Completely disjointed. Alcoholic burn, that penetrates the sinuses and sulfuric heat that pierces the tongue like a dentist drill. There's a tiny wave of really quality fruit here, if you can find it. The honeydew and golden plum reappear with some sweet Jersey blueberry These are flavors really unique for riesling, making for a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Finishes with another rush of alcohol, truely spiritous in quality.

I drank half a glass, then switched to Coors Light. This wine should not have been made.

Any winemaker with the hype of this guy, should know better.
