"Lily-like perfume, sweet lime, and ripe apple on the nose and a wafting, buoyant, juicy palate lend the Bassermann 2009 Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten Riesling Kabinett considerably more charm and refreshment than possessed by its 2008 counterpart, even if this is still relatively simple and probably best enjoyed over the next 3-4 years."

"On the nose, citrus and tropical fruits with a little botrytis on the edges. Fully ripe peaches and golden delicious apples on the palate. Enough acidity to balance out any sweetness."

"Smells of musk, daffodil, heliotrope, quince preserves, pear, and sweet corn. Hints of herbal and gingery pungency, browned butter, black tea, and salt add complex savor to this Riesling’s luscious, glycerin-rich, and refreshing palate presence, noticeable sweetness managing to convey an uncanny sense of delicacy while acidity and extract free that sweetness from any tendency toward excess."
