Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: 3 Guys, some wine (@home): Glass: Zalto Universal On special request double decanted a few hours before drinking. Drunk over three days. Screw cap. Clear, medium lemon-golden color. Clean, medium intense, youthful nose. Lots of green apple, stony mineral notes, floral notes and some ripe fruit in the background, partially also fresh honey. Fresh, crisp and nice. On the palate dry with a high acidity. Unfortunately, the acidity is a bit green and tart and unbalanced. It feels like biting into an unripe citron. And this behavior has not changed over the course of the three days. Only 11% abv. Aromas of green apple, chalky mineral notes and some bitterness (zests, grapefruit). Medium length. Solid entry level dry Riesling and “ok-ish” for the price tag ex winery. For the 16 EUR I paid a rather disappointment (at least in the current state). 83-84

Glass: Riedel Vinum Riesling Popped and poured, drunk over three days. Screw cap. Clear, medium lemon-golden color. Clean, medium intense, youthful nose.
