Grapefruit, lime, cream, slate and a hint of passionfruit. Flowers come in and out of the background. Needs coaxing for multiple days to really open up.
Firm and unyielding in the mouth with grapefruit and orange peel dominating. Just enough sweetness to take the edge off the firm acid streak and add mouth feel.
Opinion: good food wine but hard to drink on its own at the moment.

I liked this. Not a wine of finesse and at times a little blunt but also characterful and intriguing. This is QBA, not Kabinett Riesling so, the Alc comes in higher at 11% and likely adds a sense of a bolder fuller, less delicate version of Mosel. The bubbles seemed slightly bigger and the wine a bit more fizzy then most. At the same time this is not as bright as some Mosel producers wines. Fun wine to contemplate or just kick back and enjoy. Little bit of petrol but, thankfully, cleaner than most German Riesling. Good flavor depth. Having recently drank some Krug MV if Krug made Riesling, this is likely what it would taste like. Paid $16 and worth it.

Easy drinking, but with that nice tension which often characterizes Mosel Rieslings. I enjoyed it.

nice floral notes sit on top of green apple, all underpinned with a gravelly rock profile.
