Rich, tropical dry Riesling with aromas of honeysuckle, pineapple, lychee and an oily petrol. Modest acidity and somewhat buttery mouthfeel makes this atypical but very drinkable. Saffron on the finish with ever so light bitterness of kumquat on the tip of the tongue. Won’t get much better with age so drink up.

Still very youthful and sure can do more years, bringing more complexity and secondary notes. However enjoyable now for early wine lovers and a very solid Rheingau Riesling.

Half bottle. Medium straw yellow colour; good fruit on the nose (pineapple, pear), green herbs, spicy minerality, good depth; supple and attractive palate, medium body (12.5% ABV) ripe but fresh acidity, lovely density and energy, vibrant bitters; complete finish, hint of vanilla cream, good length. Youthful but already approachable. Drink now - 2023.

Complex green/yellow fruit which is cool but sweet in that weird and wonderful Riesling way, floral with hints of vanilla(?). Slightly spritzig, good intensity, a slight hint of saffron on the finish. Very nice.

Silky, tropical fruits (mango perhaps) and ripe lemons on the nose. White pepper and stone fruit on the palate, good line of acidity and nicely integrated. Medium plus body, almost a viognier like oily texture.
Lacks complexity and finish could do with some help as well. Hence not ready for drinking yet.
Had with some grilled tuna and squid but reckon cream based pastas would be better.

German wine tasting followed by a Lunch (@ de Nederlanden): Lime, lemon and some honey in the bouquet. On the palate still a bit sparkling, some bitterness and ok acidity. Some card board. I stopped writing because the wine is slightly corked. No score.

Showing well but still very youthful. Rheingau authority and a medium-plus finish. Could go much longer.

A German Wine Tasting-cum-Lunch (Restaurant De Nederlanden *, Vreeland, NL): Hint of cork but not impossible to assess. Very elegant and feminine style, floral, expressive, lovely definition, delicate, pineapple, more ripe fruit than the 2014, pear, good length.
