  Pale, lemon color.
  Still youthful but starting to show some development. Lime, fresh grapes, yellow apples and some traces of tropical fruits. Clay, basil and some petroleum coming through as well.
  
  Just a few grams of RS softens the razor sharp acidity. The fruit feels ripe but remains it’s fresh zesty feel. Great weight for being a mid-range, dry style Mosel Riesling. Long lingering zesty finish. This wine feels like it’s in the zone now but could probably take a couple of more years of aging.

  Dinner @ Alo (Alo - 163 Spadina Ave): From the wine pairings at Alo in Toronto. My favorite of the whites although it could also have been that this was just right what I was in the mood for (hot, still totally feels like summer day). It's got some nice acidity and just very fresh tasting. Crisp fruit notes. Dry. For my tastes this is something to be drinking now and not holding (but I find I'm more sensitive to aged Riesling as time goes on). Had prob the toughest pairing on the menu (some vegetables and tomatoes). Fairly high acidity in the dish, but the fruit seemed to balance that and the wine held it's own. Good for the price point.

  Very smoky nose, starting with some lemon on the palate, light and spicy, very mineralic driven, ending with lively acidity, a good entry level Riesling, drink now and the next 2- 3+ years, **(+), 84-87
