  Fantastic value for an entry level Riesling.
  Shows both the quality of the vintner and the vintage.
  Easily at the level of an erstes gewachs if not more...

  This just gets better and better. There's a real heft to this wine, with its almost animal minerality (if that's not a contradiction in terms) and saline tang on the finish. Other white wines appear anemic by comparison. Wonderful now, but it would be interesting to see how it was in three years.

  Nice entry level trocken Riesling.
  It shows the warm character of the 2015 vintage.
  I would have liked a little less RS and a little more acid.
  It comes across slightly fat. I appreciate the texture, but it needs a little more of a "cut".
  Citrus fruit and a modicum of floral notes. It lacks a little complexity but for the category it's quite nice.
  Not likely to improve.
  Well it did....
  Showed better the next night with greater complexity, somehow crisper acidity and a brighter finish?

  Fully agree with Acyso's note and would add that this is still young - a third of the bottle was left and on Day 2 it had taken on a new level of richness. Really impressive for this level but give it a decant first.

  More pith and more mineral than the Junge Reben.
