Bumping this up a point from my last reviews. It's solid and correctly made. It's not as charming as other Elsasser Rieslings but it's still sturdy and thoroughly enjoyable.

Solid Alsatian offering. Straw to gold color. Nose is pure Alsace. Palate shows orange marmalade, hay, petrol, and damp forest floor. There's some distracting green bitterness on the back and finish. Otherwise very good.

I remember this as excellent with upside remaining.

Either an off bottle, or the wine is falling apart quickly; I suspect the latter. The wine showed an acute lack of acid.

A nice, clean, Alsatian Grand Cru. Not as elegant as some, but still quite good. Ever so slightly off dry. Good finish, nice flavors.
