Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Wisco Mel on 10/4/2023: Pure gasoline. Resist all urges to purchase (240 views)
 Tasted by ElJefeTX on 9/10/2022 & rated 85 points: Lime peel and white flowers on the nose with a whiff of petrol underneath. White peach and red apple define the palate but lacks enough acidity to balance the ripe fruit profile. Neither terrible nor enjoyable. Certainly better examples of value Alsatian Riesling. (477 views)
 Tasted by Mike6743 on 4/18/2021 & rated 90 points: Real petrol nose, especially rubber plastic taste. Well made, high quality, expresses Riesling from Alsace well. That said, I don't particularly like it all that much. Not a rebuy. (541 views)
 Tasted by rshah123 on 11/14/2020 & rated 90 points: Dry, citrusy, petroleum and floral notes. (585 views)
