  No formal notes, but this is a nice basic level Riesling. It had many of the trademarks, including lemon, petrol, rocks, and acidic bite. It is an enjoyable wine — a nice, bistro-styled beverage to pair with a casual meal and not too much thought. I’d drink these up, and with summer on the way that should be pretty easy to do.

  A private wine dinner: Sugar 3.7 g/l, acidity 7.85 g/l, alcohol 12.7%.
  NOSE: Surprisingly developed Riesling nose with citrus and some mineral / petroleum aromas.
  TASTE: Mature, fruity with several mature Riesling notes. At its peak now, would be my guess. A rather light vintage of this wine.

  Bright and clean - some mineral and lemon. Not zesty, but this isn't the Mosel either. Its tonight and fairly closed, good Alsatian style. Lighter, firm and a fairly long finish. Nice wine, probably pulled it too early.

  Aromas of pinenuts, hazelnuts, Meyers lemon, key lime, white flowers, and white peach. Zesty on the nose, but doesn't have quite as much acid on the palate as I would have expected. Palate is a touch flat, but still pleasant. Overall, this is a delicious wine but without particular complexity. For true price, this is a very good bottle.
