Product Review
Described by the usually eloquent Theise as "a big ass wine", the sweet corn, mineral, currant, and apricot-scented 2001 Riesling Auslese Gleisweiler Holle is an intense, powerful offering. Medium-bodied and thick, this beautifully focused wine has such density and depth to its smoky slate, gravel, gun flint, sea salt, and mineral-flavored personality as to taste dry. Highly expressive and concentrated, it reveals no fruit flavors, just rich, velvety layers of elements generally found in mines. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019.

Undervalued and frequently mispronounced it offers a wealth of highly aromatic and diverse styles of white wine. Riesling can vary from bone dry, all the way through to lusciously sweet Beerenauslese (BA) and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). Its ability to age and transmit the terroir of the vineyard without losing its individual character places it amongst the most noble and academic of grape varieties. Germany is seen as Riesling's Old World home with the greatest concentration in the Mosel Valley, however, plantings have steadily increased across the border in the region of Alsace, France. Most Alsation Rieslings tend to be on the drier side. Even though some Grand Crus contain more sugar, they are still very refreshing and appetizing, due to a high level of acidity.

Dessert wines are usually any sweet wine drunk with or around a meal. White fortified wines (fino and amontillado sherry) are usually drunk before the meal, and the red fortified wines (port and madeira) drunk after it. Most fortified wines are regarded as distinct from dessert wines, but some of the less strong fortified white wines, are regarded as honorary dessert wines. In the United States a dessert wine is legally defined as any wine over 14% alcohol by volume, which includes all fortified wines.
