Monday, May 25, 2015 - Clear, pale intensity lemon color.
The nose is youthful with a medium aroma intensity. Aromas of grapefruits, lemon, lime, stony mineral, melon, fresh grapes and petroleum.
Half-dry on the palate with a medium(+) tart acidity and medium body. The flavor intensity is medium with flavors of grapefruit, fresh grapes, lime zest, honeysuckle and green apples. The finish is medium and again a bit tart.
This was tasted along with 2012 Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese and this was obvious the weaker one. It lacks a bit of harmony and elegance and the grape material isn't really of the same high quality. Surprisingly youthful for it's age and really easy-drinking and refreshing.
