  Drinkable, but too sweet for my taste. Not my type of riesling.

  Clear pale lemon with tears.
  
  Clean, youthful nose with a medium intensity. There are distinct aromas of citrus, featuring lemon and grapefruit notes.
  
  The wine is dry with medium(+) acidity, medium(-) alcohol, and light body. The flavours have a medium intensity and show notes of sour lemon and subtle petroleum. Aeration reveals notes of bitter grapefruit. The finish has a medium(+) length.
  
  This is a very good quality wine. The flavours are concentrated and have a great balance with the acidity and the alcohol. The wine is simple in its youthful state, only showing primary characters. The subtle petroleum note added an interesting aspect to the wine, thankfully it was not dominant. The wine is very enjoyable and has a finish with great length.
  
  This wine drinks well now, and is suitable for further ageing.
