WineScores' Review

Stunning, complex, admirable.
The Dr. Burklin~Wolf estate is the sole (monopole) owner of the top-rated Gaisbohl Grand Cru classified site. Located in Ruppertsberg the total site extends 8 ha, of which only 5.2 ha are GC. The origin of site goes back to the medieval times and is located at the foot of the Mittelhaardt mountains; it benefits from an advantageous temperate microclimate. The deposits of gravel in terraces with layers of clay in the soil provide Gaisbogl its huge body and elegant acidity; the coloured sandstone ensures a very long maturation potential.
This 2016 has a deepish yellow hue and smells of warm peaches and resin, salted limes and lemon curd, crushed stones, meringue and honey with vaugue undertones of mushroom. It has a thickness and weight that hugs the palate, admirable intensity and a powerfully long finish. Complex with an inherent earthiness, it's a stunning bone dry wine.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
