I recently bought a few bottles of this wine for really cheap so I figured I would open one early too see what it gots. That's something I'd never do that (should I say once was enough) with a wine from the same vineyard but from the Weingut Georg Breuer as they tend to show poorly when young. Well, I was pleasantly surprised with this bottling. Pale straw color, the nose is all about lemon curd, crushed rocks, thym, chalk and an hint of petrol. On the palate this is crisp with some green apples, fresh almonds, minerals and a bit of licorice. The finish is of course dry, medium to long though a little too hot right now. Hopefully this will get more balanced with time. Already an excellent wine and has the potential to get even better.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club"; German Riesling Großes Gewächs (@ My place): Beautiful bouquet with slate minerals, smoke, slightly petrol and pineapple. On the palate nice candy flavors, minerals and white fruits. Touch of bitterness in the finish. Ready now.
