  A little CO2 on opening, gradually dissipates. Tart apple and lemon, fairly sweet and viscous. To me the sweetness is a little too much when drinking the wine by itself. Its much easier for me to like along with food.

  Nose: Ripe peach flesh, ripe red apples and slight oak. Sharp minerality is there underneath all that ripe fruit.
  
  Palate: Similar ripe fruit from the nose. Clean sweetness and not cloying at all. Slight prickliness and a faint minerality on the finish.
  
  Medium gold color. A clean sweetness with no tannin. Medium to medium-plus body with medium acidity (very well integrated though). Decent finish of about 13-14 seconds. The minerality seem to struggle a bit to shine through the abundance of ripe fruits. Very enjoyable and easy to drink. Amazing price as well.
  
  Other notes: No decant, time in glass only. Bordeaux glass. Served initially ~58° and put into the fridge after the first glass to chill it down to ~54° (helped bring out the prickliness more).

  Really fantastic riesling. Bright spritzy, and sweet. We drank this after dinner, and it was spectacular. Lots of fruit as well as texture. Cool, quick finish. Great value as well.

  I didnt enjoy this quite as much as the 15, but still a very gulpable riesling. Nice with spicy food. Decent sweetness and fair balancing acidity. The fruit was a little less tropical and leaning towards orchard fruit. Didnt get much in the way of botrytis or petrol but still very young. Good grab for the price.

  Delicious. Light yellow in color with some oak and green apple on the nose. Just the perfect balance of fruit and sweetness. Smooth and easy to drink.
