  Oranges/tangerines, honey, something savory like fennel; beautiful soft, satiny texture on the palate, almost thick, but really transparent and fresh with elegant acidity rather than stinging one. Lovely Riesling. 17.5/20

  Medium gold colour… nose is discrete ( not very expressive) , M+ body with a very good acidity .. dont find it very fruity, some minerality closer to hot stones than petroleum..
  Some nice and elegant bittertaste at the end ( lemon or pomelo zest)
  Impressed by the lenght of the wine but needs to age and be drunk in 10 years

  Dry, tart and crips. Green apples, lemon-lime, touch of petrol.
