A pale yellow, this German riesling has a nose of sharp, sour citrus, chalky stone, and petrol. The entry to the palate is soft and quite broad, with tart lemon curd, a hint of chalky earth, and a metallic note quite common to riesling from this region. Decent finish. I bought this to pair with spicy Chinese food, but I must say that it would probably be better with fish. It was not sweet enough nor acidic enough to pair well with the spicy fare. Overall, pretty good for the price.

We drank this as an aperitif on 12/15/08. It had a very unusual bouquet…aromas of diesel fuel, fir trees and lemon. It was very creamy on the palate with lemon and pine oil flavors. It was acidic, bitter and a tiny bit sweet with a long 45 second finish.

Un peu mince, nerveux, manque de définition.

Intéressant, typique, mais manque d'équilibre dans son ensemble.

Très honnête apéro, assez sec, très allemand: pétrolé, conifère, agrumes. C'est amélioré la 2e journée.
