  This was a fantastic low end Pfalz riesling in its first few years. Now out of its drinking window, and predictably past its prime. Great nose. Great minerality, but the acidity has all faded. Still drinkable, but out of balance, flat.

  Golden color -- surprisingly dark for a dry Ortsweine (low end wines for a German vineyard). Completely dry in taste, quite a bit complexity again for non-GG wine. Drinks well by itself. Citrus notes, acidity is a touch muted -- not exactly bright or "refreshing acidity" as many Pfalz rieslings are. No US importer.

  From 75cl, good cork. My TN of 09.06.2014 is analytically accurate enough, but quite beside the point. Which is: Anyone who still thinks that Riesling is a light, girly kind of wine (for drinking on summer picnics to accompany cucumber sandwiches with the vicar, perhaps) should steer well clear of this muscular thug of a heavyweight rude-boy Pfalzer. "In your face" doesn't even come close, this has real testosterone energy and serious attitude. Think Madness or The Clash, at least. Fantastic stuff. 88P
