  NOSE: fresh rain, light petrol, and bright melon. Planted firmly in the "lighter/brighter" portion of the aromatic spectrum.
  
  BODY: light green-yellow color; some spritz noted; full bodied.
  
  TASTE: high acidity; green grapes and light gooseberry; powdery incense; embedded mineral tones; nice forward drive; complete; impressive; 8.5% alc. not noticeable; hint of wintergreen mint on the finish; powdery incense note morphs into a bitter florals - type thing after a few hours open. Calmly excellent. Everything seems to be the right amount, in the right place.
  
  50, 5, 12, 17, 8 = 92+

  Light yellow. Nose of lime and herbs. Light to medium body. Citrus zest, herb, and stone with fantastic acidity and intensity to burn. What a wine!

  Does exactly what it's expected to do, and then just goes on and on. It has very distinct Riesling aromas of lime and mandarin orange peel. The palate is like drinking apple and lime juice with a sweet powdered sugar quality. Brilliant balance and like I already said, amazing length.
  Great wine and delicious to drink right now.
