I love the aromatics of Riesling! This had been stored for 2 years in my cellar and was now very lovely. Not as much acidity as most German Rieslings have, but that was not expected. Smooth, slight hints of honey, petroleum, grass and maybe peach?

Tasting four (rather) dry Alsace Rieslings at home: The most perfumed wine upon opening of our line up of four random Alsatian rieslings. A little bit more luxuriously complex nose than the others, which I later chalk up on the account of some old oak barrel élevage and some residual sugar. There is a soaplike riesling aroma (no petroleum) - green apples, lime peel, peaches and lemon. Also some damp cellar and later on browned apple core.
At first rather spritzy but also tell tale big mid palate with a grassy and slightly bitter mineral finish. At first it does not really mesh, but 12 hours later the parts start to integrate in the glass and this is lovely to a fish soup. It balances between dry and off-dry. A food wine that needs some time in the cellar but is expressive now as well.

Håller med tidigare noteringar om att smaken inte hänger med doften. Lite platt och kort eftersmak. Det är en god riesling men jag hade väntat mig mer. Lite mer smak dag två så jag lämnar en flaska i källaren några år så kanske den blir mer sammansatt.

Funkade inte riktig vinlagringsskåpskallt på ca 13 grader utan mycket bättre några grader kallare där doften var riktigt bra men smaken inte riktigt hängde med.
Den härliga doften domineras av mango, saffran, fläder, selleri, gummi och inte direkt petroleum utan lite mer som en gammaldags bilverkstad. I smaken lite av samma men så kort att det är lite svårt att identifiera de enskilda smakerna. Bra som kallt balkongvin men inte mer än så. Ca 86 p men hade smaken följt doften hade det varit över 90.

Blommig söt riesling i doften, typ ananasspad/persika. Det finns petroleum men den kommer och går under tiden i glaset. Smaken hänger inte riktigt med, lite för mycket slisk av honungsdränkta päron som inte backas upp av syran tillräckligt. Ganska gott men man måste vara på humör för att inte rata det direkt. Gav några nya försök dagarna efteråt men det blev ingen förbättring. Kommer det bli bättre med ålder?

Indice2. PnP. Yellow. Mellow Riesling aroma, flowery, white fruits, pear, melon, slight minerality behind. Also mellow palate, m-A, off dry fruity finish. Drink now I suppose. Ok Alsace Riesling although it lack focus.

Ripe, fairly rich nose of yellow apples. Maybe some toasty pastry notes as well - overall a little sweeter on the nose than on the palate. Also a little reductive flinty note.
On the palate, the same rich yellow fruit, but less sweet and with fairly strong acidity.
Very enjoyable now, but will improve over the next year or two and then stay that way for a while.

Compared to my last note from august 2020, this has integrated the sugar more and the sweetness har turned into more of a mellow richness.
Less yellow apples and pastry and more classic alsatian riesling. 92 points.
