  Watery, greenish color. Rather reticent nose with some steeliness, minerality and a touch of tropical fruits. However, the palate is completely different: supple, juicy, full-bodied. Sweetish, mineral and fruity with a nice touch of honey. Though a bit plump, the wine is not heavy at all and the acidity keeps it effectively very fresh and lively from the beginning to the end. However, the sweetness douses the nuances in the finish very quickly, leaving only a faint hint of minerality on the tongue. The aftertaste is nice and fairly complex, but very short-lived.
  
  Very enjoyable and balanced mid-level Spätlese, although its midpalate is definitely a lot more prominent if compared to the nose and the finish. A classy and effortless Mosel Riesling from Van Volxem, I like very much. Worth its price at approx. 20€.
