2001 Hochheimer Kirchenstuck Eiswein

The 2001 Riesling Eiswein Hochheimer Kirchenstuck reveals caramelized minerals and scoops of honey in its expressive nose. More youthful and unformed than the Hochheimer Holle, it is just as potent and powerful, yet bigger and thicker. My score will appear overly conservative if it gains focus with cellaring. Drink this gem between 2014 and 2030+. Dec 2002, www.robertparker.com
