Opens with a whiff of S02 which blows off pretty quickly. Very attractive and complex nose, with stone fruits, ginger spice, and just a hint of petrol. Very good peach and lime flavors and good weight, combine with a back end spiciness making for a well balanced, textbook styled Austrian riesling. Much better than my last bottle about a year ago, this seems to be coming together nicely.

Very young, needs more bottle age. Good balance with some frizante. This would've been perfect with oysters if I had any. Great minerality with some saltiness interlaced with white peach and apricot flavors accentuated by lemon peel. The wine needs a lot more of bottle age to really demonstrate its potential.

Drank at Room Temp...Seems to be mellow now, very smooth, although acid was weak. Had better, but at much higher price points.

Smooth with a spritz; balanced; lemon and light vanilla; complex array of fruit nuances; soft finish.
