Still drinking well two days later. Light and dry, with linden flowers on the nose, honeyed lime on the palate, medium acidity medium+ weight, and a short and delicate yet focused finish. Probably best as an aperitif. 87+

Color: Pale Canary Yellow Smell: Chalk, white floral notes, and lime Taste: Mineral, white grapefruit, lemon, green apples, lime, and quince Overall: Very nice, but not very much depth. A wide range of simple flavors that seem to be quite nice and clean...but lacking excitement. Light bodied with high acidity, medium fruit, and a moderate length finish.

Pale lemon green. Restrained but elegant aromas of sweet lemon, pear, kiwi and linden along with a mineral tang. Nicely balanced with crisp aidity and elegant fruitiness although the mid palate feels diluted and the finish is quite short.

A very mineral driven nose of heavy slate with a faint hint of peach peeking through. Tart, bracing entry of lemon infused apricot that flows into a somewhat flat acidic finish. Hard to drink without food & even then it might not work.

Color is almost lime green. Nose is full of citrus fruit, wet slate, and pineapple. Palate is very zesty, with lots of upfront acidity. Comes across like a lemon-lime soda at first...the mid-palate builds to feature more dense flavors of minearls and roasted herbs. Finish is nice and has a subtle complexity to it. Nice wine.

I agree completely with Kirk Grant. A simple, well-made riesling. Best drinking now.

Cincinnati Wine Festival (Cincinnati, OH): Delicious, acidic, effervescent, a touch round.

Had 4 out of my 12 demi bottles during the last few months. Good fresh balance of lemon zest and caramel.

Bright, clear color. Very mineral driven nose. Tart, medium entry of steely mineral laced lemony peach. Needs food.

A very well-balanced, dry Riesling with excellent acidity. If this is your average Rheingau, I'm sold!

Bright gold. Pretty aroma of peach with slate & iron. Clean, slightly zippy with good palate richness & depth.
