  8/10 - No formal tasting note. Nothing impressive, but decent for the price

  Crystalline purity; rocky minerals; orange marmalade and orange juice. Light and lacy texture. Very good right now, if the waxy texture that can comes with age appears with the other elements could end up being pretty great.

  Color: Straw yellow.
  
  Nose: Extremely fresh and bright. The expected varietal character of stone fruit and citrus as well as honey and faint mineral savoriness, but it's hard to pinpoint any one thing. Just the smallest hint of petrol. The overall impression is energetic.
  
  Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and rounded.
  
  Palate: At first, the honeyed-apple sweetness dominates. Then the lemony citric tartness comes through to lighten it up, leading to a sweet-tart finish with a dash of mineral and decent length.
  
  A bit disappointing, to be honest. It's clean and delicious, so no problem there, but it feels pretty simple and earthbound for a Spatlese from this estate. Could use more acid as the balance definitely leans toward the sweet.
