german wines from garco with robert noecker

hans lang Sabrina semi dry Rheingau 2007 pretty aromas and stone fruit in flavors. a dryish finish if a quick one.... sabrina is the winemakers wifes name...

hans lang riesling kabinet troken. 2006.. so early picked and finished dry... and dry is right..green apple crispness..dusty finish with lime notes.

barth ( pronounced bart) 2007 Allure Rheingau semi dry, nice juicyness, light acidity and body.
barth wines use the glass cork that up until now I had only seen from some Italian wines.

barth riesling semi dry 2007 semi dry...minerality on the nose, a touch spritz on the tongue...

barth charta riesling..05 rheingau golden yellow beginnings of a petrol nose, pink grapefruit on the palate...my favorite so far...charta is a group of winemakers from the area who have agreed to certain conditions and pier tastings to approve the label use. much like the consortium in Chianti that uses the black rooster.

Johann Maximilian Riesling Fry 2005 light straw colored ..astringent and is that ham?? maybe the glaze, but some weight to it..interesting wine...liked very much.

Blees (pronounced Blaze) Ferber( loved show boat) Riesling Feinherb (taking the place of halbtrocken, means Good Herb) soft flowers on the nose, lemonzest and apples on the palate, very mouthwatering.

Blees Ferber Riesling Trocken Spatlese 2006 light yeloow sweet nose and sweet aromas, a bit of honey and apricot... similar to the beginnings of a sauterne.

Ferber Riesling Spatlese 06 a hint of early petrol, spice, viscous and peaches...long finish

Ferber Riesling Auslese 2006 in a 500ml bottle...again with the sweet flowery nose.. lots of viscosity, stone fruit and mineral...some light petrol...mouth filling and soft...
