Notably less aromatic and less intense than the 2019 vintage of the same wine (which I tasted back to back) but still a nice bottle of riesling. The aromas and flavors are comparable between the two vintages but there just isn't the same "oompf" in the 2018. Also, the palate of the 2018 falls a bit flat, especially when compared to the vibrancy of the 2019, although it may very well show better on the second day as the 2019 did.
APPEARANCE: Color & intensity: medium lemon
NOSE: Intensity: medium Aromas: lemon, lime, yellow apple, crushed stone, lemon zest, hints of petrol and beeswax Development: developing
PALATE: Sweetness: dry Acidity: medium (+) Alcohol: medium Body: medium Intensity: medium Flavors: lime, lemon, yellow apple, crushed stone, hint of honey Finish: medium (+)
CONCLUSIONS: Quality level: good Potential for ageing: can drink now but has potential for further ageing

Gregor Breuer Tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): *** not blind, wines usually popped & poured *** Glass: Gabriel Universal Clear, pale yellow color. Youthful nose. Almost extreme acidity, a bit unbalanced. Wonderful mineral core, lots of warm ripe fruit. Good pressure and length. Still a bit nervous Needs at least 2-3+ years to blend in the extreme acidity. 87+ Very good PQR
