This may have lost a touch of freshness from a year ago but is aging beautifully especially for a sub-$9 wine. Impossible to beat for the price. Overall my notes match those from a year ago with the wine featuring citrus fruits and good acidity overall.

The wine is a light straw color. Nose is minerally and acidic with spicy fruit. When the bottle wa opened a good bit of pressure was released and when the inital glass was poured there was significant effervescence. The taste showed a nice bright fruity flavor and a lot of acid; along with the effervescence that acicity was out of balance. The wine was tasty and a good wine but not my favorite style. It could have been much nicer without the fizz. (3880 views)

Petrol initially dominates the nose but is inconsequential on palate. Green and red apples, splash of fresh cherry juice, and a touch of minerality that gains traction with air.

100% riesling, 100% slate, a touch of petrol. firne (fer-num) old pottery has an old clay smell, old copper or old cubbards have this smell, it is mainly a word for something being old. The word has a special association with and old sous bois smell of a Riesling.

Knackeig -- a word for crutch -- a nice bitey acidity. A nice bite like a frankfuter or wurtz. (4644 views)

Residual sugar a bit too much for me. Or not enough, depeding on the context. Still, balance was a bit off for me on this one. (4547 views)

Popped and poured. Delicious as usual. Seems very similar to the last two vintages, which is a good thing. Nice acid, a hint of sweetness, easy to pound. $13 (4479 views)

Agree with all the previous tasters. This is the most refreshing, racy rendition I've had yet of this consistently great wine. Went fabulously with Indian food. A super QPR. (4858 views)

Vintage after vintage, one of the best values in wine. The '10s, judging from this first taste, have bruising acidity as a defining characteristic, much more so than the past two vintages, and comparatively little sweetness. That they remain balanced can be credited to the almost fleshy palate of lemon and white pit fruit. The nose has some lemon drop and tart apple, with a fresh floral note. Possibly my favorite vintage of this wine to date, though I'm curious as to how it'll fare in wider opinion. (4648 views)
