Very tasty though still quite young and primary - showing a bit sweeter than I expected. Candied fruit with some tangy notes (kind of like Smarties) and good acidity.

Very impressive. Lemon, lime, Granny Smith apple, and a bit of salt with high toned acid to balance the sugar. Very slight element of secondary fermentation, which adds rather than detracts, from this rocking wine.

No note taken. Flavors of lightly sweet apple, spice, and citrus. Nicely balanced. Moderate complexity/finish. Long-term upside, but very drinkable now. 91-94.

nose- green apple, gingerbread, hint of petrol mouth - absolutely singing , the slightly sweet ripe fruit buffers the very potent acidity that goes on and on, keeping me salivating. for the non-sucrophobes, i would summarize this as 'thrilling'. EtOH 9.5% 39 gr residual sugar

Lemon peel, white peach, pear, white flowers, and wild yeast on the nose. With more time in the glass more orchard fruit with aromas of pear and underripe green apple become noticeable. On the palate this wine is deep and expansive, with electric acidity, and has perfectly integrated residual sugar that I don't find often with young off-dry riesling (to me the sweetness in young feinherbs can stick out and be a distraction). At first just has ripe yellow peach on the palate but as it gets air in the glass there is more complexity of citrus notes, ginger, and wet slate minerality lingering over a long finish. Fine juice!

Electric acid. This has an almost excess of tropical fruit. Very long on the finish as well. Still tightly coiled with many years ahead.

Explosively fruity with a lot of everything. Goes down easy and by the end of the bottle you feel the acidity on your enamel
