Medium yellow, slatey, mineral, citrus pith nose - palate is fresh, zesty lime and lime pith, there is ample acidity, but it is smooth and supportive, not spiky. Understated.
Four nights later (a couple ungassed and a couple gassed), it took on a lot of depth and weight. A generous heft, yet very elegant and perfectly balanced. You need to pay attention, but it has a lot to say.

Nez très profond sur une base de citron confit, d'huile de citronnelle et de gazon. En bouche nous avons du citron confit (aucune sucrosité cependant), de l'orange, c'est tendu et charnu et long. Il est cependant moins complexe que le Felstenberg de la même maison mais ces 7 ans en ont fait un beau riesling patiné.

Nice inviting nose. Tropical fruit, elderflower with a good mineral backning and good acidity. Just after release this was very harsh and unbalanced. Never thought this would turn into anything good, or even decent.

Very quiet upon opening with really not much going on, this really hit its stride on day 3
Minerally, tropical fruits and lemon in an impactful but weightless package that’s very fresh and beguiling
Very short finish
Have another five bottles that would be fun to follow for the next 5-10 years
No rush to open

Consistent notes. Terrific every day Riesling. No reason to hold on to these. Probably a little pricey for what it is, but it is a solid wine.
