Terrific aperitif on a warm Spring evening. Pale gold color. Nose explodes with smoky white fruit, petrol and minerals. Palate is rich yet fresh. More smoke, sweet apples, pears and a mineral crunch. Decent underlying acidity to keep it fresh but given the richness could have used more verve. None the less, a tasty easy drinking Riesling that was enjoyed on its own.

Opened at Zintoberfest. Once again this had quite a bit of acidity. Lean and a little steely. Good minerality but lacking in depth. Not as good as the 2001 vintage of this wine which was much more rounded. 87-88 points.

This wine had more acidity than any other 2003 German Riesling I have tried. Perhaps it was more prevalent because the wine was slightly drier. In any event it was quite crisp. Tart white fruit with some spiciness. A little unbalanced but not bad. 87 points.

Nice clean riesling. Considerable acidity which balanced out the sweetness nicely. Not complex, but solid. Short finish. Good with the Asian food.
