Tasted right after opening, and was abit closed. Decanted and let it breath of 1,5 hour. Light golden color, it almost seems like it is too golden at this age, which made me abit nervous. But is was beautiful on the nose. Slight hint of petrol, with citrus, apples, nectarines, really ripe fruit. The acidity is fairly high, but the ripe fruit balance it out perfectly! The wine is perfectly balanced, the concentration is very good and the aftertaste lasts for a long time. This is very good now, with a good balance of primary an secondary notes, but based on the consentration this can last for a while!

Light greenish yellow. Slate, passionfruit, grapefruit, American smarties, lemon. Touch of sugar on palate, low acid, hint of bite, almost lemonade qualities. Kind of a refreshing quicksilver on the palate - fruit flash, lemonheads finish. Perfect for the tacos tonight. Fun and good for July 3rd (despite being German).

A Wine Festival at the Millerntor (Millerntor Football Stadium, Hamburg): A VDP Erste Lage from a nearly unknown but old northern Nahe vineyard, the most smoky showing of the three tasted Rieslings from K- R, very young, light bodied with depth and some lemon cest, flintstone rules! Ending saline and persistent, give this wine some months to get more balanced, to enjoy over the next 5+ years, *(**)

Golden color
Nose is ripe with notes of petrol
Palate is rich but balanced by nice acidity
Paired nicely with a coconut mango curry
Would buy again
