This is drinking very well - I just finished a glass of the '17, and this is better across the board. A more nuanced nose, with that white fruit cocktail over slate note that I often get with Riesling.
Then more expansive on the palate than the younger wine, with a salty note on the finish. In a word, delicious.

Light golden in the glass, with a slate/minerally note most pronounced on the nose.
I just had a Nikolaihof Federspiel, and following up with this really emphasizes the residual sugar in the wine. Sweet & tart, with good acidity - and pretty drinkable.

3rd riesling in a row - my wife is making pork chops with mushrooms, white wine (in fact, this wine) crusted with bread crumbs and grated sharp cheddar, so I thought the rieslings might make a decent pairing (plus, not too bad drinking on their own while your waiting for dinner!).
The nose on this wine has more perceptible sweetness than the Nikolaihofs. More "rounded"/less focused than the other two wines on the palate - I probably didn't do this wine any favors by drinking it last, but it is still pleasant.

Wagner-Stempel EMT Lunch (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam): From D-Magnum. This is tangy, crunchy and mouthwatering fresh with refined citrus, finesse and perfect balance!

Light yellow in the glass; light fruit salad on the nose.
Light-bodied, and pretty tasty if not overly complex. 12.5% alcohol per the label, and this is pretty easy to knock back.
