Nose is spicy with cumin, good apple fruit. Lime on palate with just a kiss of RS. Fresh and delicious. Nose - 4.5-5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5-16/20.

A Rieslingfeier of our Own; 2/13/2017-2/18/2017 (Traben-Trarbach, Germany): #34-16, 11% abv. There's a little reductive funk on the nose here, but otherwise there's a nice steeliness to this wine. Lovely and relatively light, with a good palate presence. A very focussed and clear wine, very different from the powerhouses that are the Willi Schaefer wines. From 45-50 year old vines.

Light straw. A very elegant wine, notes of white peaches, very slight sweetness and fine acidity. Nice chalky mineral backbone.

Skurnik Wines & Flatiron Wines tasting of Selbach-Oster. Semi-ripened strawberries, slightly creamy, light pears on the finish. Medium finish.
