Riesling blind tasting
Budapest
Tasted Tuesday, July 12, 2016 by Meridianus with 117 views
Introduction
Just one of our usual blind tastings with my friends. Brought two Germans and i was pretty sure both would be in the first 3.
Flight 1 (5 Notes)
Closing
Well, the two Germans grabbed the first two places, so i was right :)
They were also considerably more expensive then the rest, but as we all know, higher cost doesn't always translates to higher quality. I'm just happy that they did this time.

Romania, Miniş
Dark color.
Aroma: strong petrol with something that reminds me of burnt pig hair (not kidding).
Flavor: as if something has begun rotting.
After 15 minutes the strong petrol aroma subsided a bit and i could smell some honey.
