  Still not sure whether the Geil I just drank is the one this bottle refers to...
  
  Anyway, this is my first experience with Huxelrebe.
  
  Pours deep gold. Aroma is powerfully peachy and floral, tending towards the musky and "urinary", in a manner that reminds me of some Muscats. First impression in the palate is of powerful, peachy sweetness, which quickly fades to a medicinal, herbal bite that is not unlike some Sauternes I've had. Finishes long and relatively dry, with bracing acidity.
  
  Very interesting and a nice break from the usual Riesling. Excellent with sushi.
