  Very creamy for a Riesling. Peach, apple, lychee with a smokey mineral finish. Very nice, but I wanted the flavors to come through with a little more poise and definition. The wine seemed a little reticent. Great match with a corn salad.

  This is the exact wine that helped me discover riesling some 3 years ago. Seems appropriate to revisit now as I near 100+ riesling tasting notes.
  Back then I would have rated this with a 90+ rating, but a lot of really good, often german, riesling has passed my way since and today I will reward it only with a low 80's score.
  In my view Alsacian riesling can be very concentrated and extremely fragrant but often a bit heavy and sometimes bitter. This one is mostly thin and bitter.

  Delicious. Amazing nose. I enjoyed hours of just inhaling this wine.

  Smell: ripe stone fruits, ripe orange, wet rocks. Taste: stone fruits, citrus, wet rocks. Tasted more dry than clos hauserer. Good flavor concentration , alcohol slightly prominent.
