Weingut Eifel-Pfeifer 'Heinz Eifel' Riesling Auslese 2017 Review
Gasoline and pears on the nose, and I ain’t lyin’. I wish I was, but damn this wine is intense. The palate is soaked with saccharine sweetness taking away from the wines attempt to stay balanced. If you're on your way to a spicy BYOB menu and need a last minute pick up, this will do. But keep it as cold as possible.
