I like this a lot. Mid-teens riesling sometimes seems like a gamble, but this really hit the mark for me for ~$16. Seemed like classic alsation riesling, with some nice weight to it and a pleasing touch of petrol. Refreshing and food friendly. I'll buy again.

Cracked and poured at cellar temp (ca 13 deg C). A fairly light golden yellow. Initially quite a citrusy nose, but after some minutes in the glass, more apricotty aromas came out and a bit of chalk. On the palate, nice enough, good acidity, round tastes of fresh apple, perhaps a bit of apricot. Very dry, not much residual sugar here. I like it!

Nice fresh nose of peach and citrus. Off dry and medium bodied with good but not too strong acidity. Nice mineral note while definitely a fruit forward wine. I tried this briefly on day 1 and the 11g/l RS was more obvious. Seems to have gained a better balance since - probably good for short term cellaring?. Some spiciness on the finish. Not a groundbreaking wine but surely a nice Alsatian Riesling that's a little bit on the sweet side.
