June 15, 2014 - Light golden color. Mostly peach, green apple, mineral, and gasoline on the nose and palate. Round, honeyed body. Manages to be tart, but relatively mild in acid at the same time. I'm glad I tried this with some years on it, which likely concentrated the flavors and enhanced the petrol-y characteristics I love in aged, off-dry Rieslings. A great bargain.
March 27, 2014 - Very little aromas. Sweet with tropical notes. Low acidity and alcohol.
February 1, 2013 - Apricot, slate, and petrol aromas; waxy texture, scintillating acidity, and a tad flat but layered with flavors of green apple, white peach, lots of apricots, slate, saline, and a touch of citrus. Closes with a dash of white pepper. Good.
October 26, 2011 - nose - slight wax/hint of petrol and perhaps pear
9% etoh
mouth - very clean and quite simple, light acidity on the finish. off dry to sweet. i like off-dry reislings ;this is superbly unobjectionable...and relatively uninteresting. a wine for seven-up lovers. or for drinking after a 5K race.
May 30, 2011 - Really enjoyed the refreshing sweetness.
December 12, 2010 - Terrible. Drinks like juice. No acidity. Didn't finish. Had to open a real wine to complete the evening.
November 11, 2010 - Pretty subtle nose on this wine, but still has very nice aromas of mango, orange and lemon. The nose does start to get a little bigger as the wine warms, but still pretty subdued. The palate, however, is anything but. Rich, buttery start on the front palate, with a sweet jolly rancher opening (maybe watermelon or grape), apple, pear and lemon mid palate and a massive oily, buttery finish. There is plenty of acid on this wine, but it's 2 - 3 layers in, as the richness wears off a bit and your mouth starts to pucker just at the end. For those of you who know, sweet Riesling is not my thing and this one is too sweet for me, but, if you like that, definitely worth a try.
