Pretty bright, juicy & well-balanced - however it still lacks aromatic lift & definition at this point. The diesel notes were more pronounced with cellar time, though.
The palate was munificent with green apple & ambiguous citrus flavors. Even with the dry designation, there is a hint of sweetness … & a surprising bitterness on the finish? Bit of a letdown overall.
Possible dumb phase – but it went well with Thai chicken satay.
Drink until 2026.

Pale lemon-straw, warery rim, 12% abv. Closed nose. Very high racy acidity. lemon, green apple, dominates narrow palate. Medium(-) body. Crisp citrus-driven finish. Very focused, clean, drinkable. Should be great with raw oysters. Can be sipped all day long during a hot summer.

Very nicely balanced dry (ish) riesling. Citrus and green apple on the nose and palate. Nice acidity on the finish. We are Riesling fans and this is a very good one for a good price.

Moderate acidity, limited fruit impact - more stone and mineral. Fair value, nothing exciting.
