  pale yellow, smells of apricot and of some minerality, apricot in the mouth, light body, apricot in the aftertaste, nice acidity though, quite a short finish, not that great, would not buy again.

  Offered by the glass and by the bottle at the several bars and restaurants of the Taj Palace Hotel in Mumbai. Citrus and apple nose. Citrus and green apple on the palate. Not terribly complex. The slight fizz is welcome in the warmth of the courtyard terrace after long day of meetings. Good acidity. Surprisingly lingering finish of green apples. Don't see why this would get better with age. Does not really stand up to the lemongrass reed chilli prawns, either. Wishing for spatlese on the wine list...

  Consistent with previous bottles. Will let my remaining bottles age a bit to see how they develop.

  Consistent with previous bottle. The acidity was very pronounced this time and makes me think this wine needs a little bit of time to settle and integrate. As a mostly dry Riesling, there really isn't much sweetness there to help mask or balance the acidity.

  Light straw color. Spritzy nose of citrus, limestone and apple. Similar flavors on the palate with mostly tart apple and mineral flavors along with just a touch of sweetness on the back end. Good, crisp acidity and a pleasant finish. Nice pairing with sweet and sour Thai dishes. Excellent QPR as well.
