  Petroleum infused lemon curd. The most complete riesling I’ve ever tasted. Rich and complex and dry and chalky at the same time. Threw off and cut through all dishes you paired it with. Amazing wine!

  Online Blind Tasting #10: What I wanted to drink: *** Note is based on 0,1l bottles filled about 2 days before the tasting from 0,75l bottle ***
  Glass: Zalto Universal
  Clear, deep golden color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. At the beginning some fine petrol, orange zests, herbs, warm, candied fruit. Deep, complex and a bit broad shouldered.
  On the palate dry with some noticeable sweetness, that certainly comes partially from its high extract and the 13,5% abv, but I assume it will also have 4-6gr of residual sugar. Medium+ body. Candied fruit, pineapple, orange zests, intense mineral core. Lots of power and concentration, creamy and rich mouthfeel. Long finish. Serious wine, but it felt being “made” or “constructed”. Lacks freshness and precision. Potential? I doubt that it gets better. Certainly a very good Riesling, but it is not my cup of tea… 93
