A tale of two wines. Days 1 & 2, I was rather put off by the heavy petrol and awkward bitterness. Coming back to it three days later and it was a fully serviceable Riesling, complementing my halibut in fine fashion. My takeaway is: give it a long and perhaps aggressive aeration to ward off the young meanies, even though it isn’t that young. 4+12+16+8= 90

Some residual sugar. Initially closed: simple, ripe, and fruit forward riesling with a touch of petrol. It then gained rich complexity keeping the same fruit-forward format, resemble to any kinds of super ripe soft fruits such as citrus, mango, pinapple, melon, lychee, etc. Will only get better with age. Now 89-90.

I echo Fingers' comments exactly. An 87 on PnP, but after two days, it was singing. Very nice Riesling @ $22. Aerate well and you will be rewarded.

Picked up at Hanos in Delft for a fair price. Drinking nicely now, off course not the best terroir of Prüm but still delicious with a good balance...

Good balance between sugar and acidity, not overly sweet. Very nice.
