Good concentration, complexity and length of finish. Ripe orchard fruit, citrus foliage and minerality. Quite vegetal and astringency that blows off a bit with some air, but still quick prevalent.
Medium lemon colour.
Pronounced aromas of petrol, peach, yellow apple, white grapefruit, lemon peel, lime leaf, wet slate, chalky limestone.
Pronounced palate.
Medium (-) body, high acidity, long finish.

Another enigmatic Alsatian Riesling (from magnum - € 42). Colour still pretty light but in the distance the sun is coming through. Not very fragrant, but clean and acid, no petrol. The taste is really dry with the alcohol (14%) hidden; a little bit one-dimensional. It lacks minerality. It could use a tad more sweetness. Nice aftertaste, lingering long. For me, not an archetypical Riesling. Impossible for me to predict how it will develop. Certainly no reason for drinking up anytime soon

First Reisling I’ve had in a long time, very good. Could definitely smell the petrol notes, very interesting.
