Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - Mosel+screwcap=fail. It is simply ridiculous how often these screwcapped German Rieslings are ruined by excess sulfury note. On the palate the wine has enough fruit to cover the burnt match flavor when enjoyed with food but on its own the wine is clearly exposed. Too bad, since otherwise this would have probably been a perfectly decent Kabinett.
