Got it on site at Schloss Johannisburg a year ago.
I couldn't describe it better than Matthew Horkey: "A little bit if petroleum, a little bit if honey. Just the right balance between fruit, tension and acidity. Think of it as fresh lemonade or even a fresh squeezed orange juice: That play if acidity and fruit on your palate it's just real tension. Please please drink more Riesling."

Day 1: I think it is slightly flawed but drinkable though. The nose is quite unclear and the palate needs acid to give balance and structure.
Day 2: Way better than day one. It need air. Green and yellow apples. Lime and white flowers. Good balanced medium acid. Good complexity with medium lenght.

Good notes by others, Xavier Auerbach. It it still pretty young, full of primary tastes. It is getting more expensive: I pay € 18 now, whereas a year ago it was € 15. Q/PR descending

Intensity medium(+). Lemon, green apple, blossom, orange peel, peach. Some minerality. Petrol hardly noticeable. Acidity medium(+). Finish medium. Don’t drink too cold. Palate opens up nicely upon warming up.

Exotic fruit on the nose, lemon zest or lemon tart, too. Nice and light gasoline, of course. On the taste, even more fruit and lemon zest. Slight CO2. Perhaps, slightly too acidic. Long aftertaste of a sour apple. Overall, very pleasing, especially for the price, under 20 in the EU.

Taxfree buy enjoyed without food, but food friendly. Medium straw. A bit closed with elder flower and minerals on the nose. Fresh acidity. Noted trocken/dry, but some sweetness in the aftertaste.

An easy-going, supple and juicy Gelblack, but it does not quite match the 2019 for overall quality. The Johannisberg character is pretty well expressed, the style is attractive, but the overall feeling is a bit more loose, without the tension and precision of the previous vintage. Love the new label!
