NOSE: Sweet ripe lemons, pineapple, freshly green apples, crushed almonds and walnuts, stone minerality and finally some Riesling "firne" / petroleum notes. (89p) TASTE: The arrival is off-dry rather than semi-sweet. On the mid palate rounded, ripe, slightly sweet citrus Riesling fruit, mango and pineapple. Medium light bodied but fairly elegant. (88p) FINISH: Pineapple, sweet lime and just a slight touch of lemon pit bitterness. Medium long aftertaste. (89p) OVERALL: Nicely matured Feinherb Riesling from Rheingau. Should keep and mature for another 10 years but I'm not sure how much it may improve, if at all. TOTAL SCORE 88 (89) points on its first night open. I may re-evaluate tomorrow.

Quite sweet and a faint nose but a lovely complex palate with a medium length.

A complex Riesling. Salt and mineral. Medium Acidity. Typical Riesling light body. Enjoyable
