Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler Noble House Riesling 2018 Review

This wine is really tough to smell because it is so sweet. I can’t find any real aromas because all I get when I stick my nose in the glass is sugar. Ok, maybe there is a slight hint of a pear in there, but that's about it. If you're on your way to a spicy BYOB and forgot to grab a bottle, and this is what the corner liquor store has, it’s a decent choice for washing down spicy food. On its own though it’s a miss, with a saccharine sweet palate that will turn off most people.
