Clear, bright, typically grapefruit aroma and taste. Fairly dense in the mouth. Golden in color but no scent of oxidation. Had with pan fried brook trout. Very pleasant but while showing no defects in aging, not showing the benefits that a pradikat Riesling of this vintage would.

The bottle from our prior note must have been tainted. This one was very enjoyable with basil beef, sesame chicken and spicy thai spring rolls. Very refreshing with hints of honey, lindenberry, gooseberry, and spice. Low alcohol is a bonus - only 10%. 2 more in the cellar...it seems to have some time left.

Nice but not spectacular. Agree with one of the prior reviews that more acids would be nice. Also I'd expect a longer than 15 second finish on a 90+ riesling, and the finish becomes oddly less pleasant (bitter) at the tail end. Color is great and the nose is sweet with a faint smell of mustiness.
