Saturday, February 10, 2018 - Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Some German Whites: Tasted blind. Clear, pale golden color. Clean, medium- intense, youthful developing nose, easily identifiable as Riesling. Mellow red apple, some orange zests a bit crushed stones. Quite closed and not very expressive.
Dry, medium, very mild acidity, pointing to a rather warm vintage. Medium alcohol (12,5% abv). Some tannin, we guest that it was matured in big oak vats that might have been quite new. On the palate again apple, some yellow stone fruit, ripe fruit, a bit chalky/limestone notes (we later learned it was grown on grey slate). Good tension, medium length. Lacks a bit of expressiveness and complexity. Still very young and probably not showing its full potential.
