  Golden colour, medium intensity. Mature, pronounced nose with aromas of pears and citrus behind the dominating petrol. A slight sweetness, high fresh acidity, medium body. Flavours of petrol, baked lemons, slate minerality. Mouthwatering. Long aftertaste with sweet lemon and peach.

  Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: German off-dry Riesling from the 90s (Private Location): On the nose a bit of petrol which fades away quickly. Underneath you find ripe yellow fruit, a bit of exotic, tender apple and a hint of orange peel (which is so typical for Rheingau Riesling for me). The acidity is on a lower level (thanks to the vintage), round, a bit of bitterness on the back end. Good but nothing more.

  Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Some German Whites: Tasted blind. Clear, pale golden color. Clean, medium- intense, youthful developing nose, easily identifiable as Riesling. Mellow red apple, some orange zests a bit crushed stones. Quite closed and not very expressive.
  Dry, medium, very mild acidity, pointing to a rather warm vintage. Medium alcohol (12,5% abv). Some tannin, we guest that it was matured in big oak vats that might have been quite new. On the palate again apple, some yellow stone fruit, ripe fruit, a bit chalky/limestone notes (we later learned it was grown on grey slate). Good tension, medium length. Lacks a bit of expressiveness and complexity. Still very young and probably not showing its full potential.

  Starting to show much more than only 2 years ago. The fruit is nice, floral with an increasing mineral tone with time. Lime, chalk and white fruit. Better on day two. Great acidity making a good balance ending with good length on the finish. Will be interesting to see this one grow further.

  Felix and Ruth's Wedding Wine Tasting (Le Benaton and Beautiful Wines): This was good - a seriously accomplished wine for something at this price range. Tasted side-by-side with a bottle of Dragonstone from the same vintage, I thought this dry wine was one notch up. It had a lovely nose, rather more attractive than its sweeter sibling, and perhaps more clearly Rheingau, with an attractive layer of earth, chalk and spice along with some musky white flowers and ripe white fruit scents. The palate was really nice too. There was lovely balance and poise carrying a body that showed an impressive amount of richness for a QBA, with nicely citrusy notes on the attack and a crunch of green apple on the midpalate, all couched in lovely bright acidity. The mid-lengthed finish continued with that little touch of the mineral that was hinted at on the nose and a nice mouthfilling linger of apple and pear fruit. Very decent on its own, but this should be even better when paired with food. Nice.
