Very good. Golden yellow color. Straw and steel on the nose. Citrus and mineral flavor. Tangy finish on the front if your tongue. Very much like a heavy Sauvignon blanc; a bit heavier than i was expecting from an Alsace...

A somewhat stale smell of greenness, asparagus and currant leaves. Obvious chardonnay of citrus, yellow peach and some metal, like a tin can. The yeasty, champagne-like young freshness is gone. Acids are pretty high, but lacks the sharp zzing and CO2 from the young version. Yellow fruit with citrus peel, some gooseberry aromas and a hint of residual sweetness. Very green overall character of nettles and asparagus. Bit of a disappointment, at least in comparison with Deiss' Riesling St Hippolyte 2002.

Not sure about this one. Sulphidey, powerful, unusual, savoury.
