Light hay color with tinge of lime. Aroma is a bit muted: green apples, lemon. Pineapple, minerals. Highly drinkable, though a bit lacking in complexity and intensity in aroma.

(Weingut Alexander Gysler Weinheimer Riesling Kabinett) Light green-tinged yellow color; tart apple, citrus nose; tart citrus, tart apple palate; medium-plus finish
(Gysler Weinheimer Riesling Kabinett) ($23.00) And the best-ever vintage of it. Normally this is an extremely low-pH (and thus acid-driven) Riesling, which receives a generous sweetness in order to balance its steely structure. It succeeds by juxtaposing the two extremes in a high-tension dance. But in ’10 there’s a whole other layer of richness and fruit, and serious depth; the fruit is euphoric and not merely arch; key lime, aloe, balsam and kirsch, charming sponti aromas, almost Mosel like. Always a good value, this zooms above its long-term norm in this bizarre yet compelling vintage.

Wet stones and sulfur. Lacking in interest on the palate.

Theise/Skurnik DI tasting. Fresh, pale complexioned fruit with the acids giving it a sense of real clarity and focus. Very good.
