Similar impression to the first bottle. Pronounced petrol and plastic smell. Taste a bit more of the plastic than last time, but also honey, citrus, better acidity than the last bottle, but still a bit "flabby", lacking some focus. Okay Riesling with a lot going on, but not really wowing me either.

Some petrol and rubber on the nose. Tastes of flowers, ripe peach, and honey, a bit heavy, and lacking some in acid. Although labeled as dry, the lack of acid makes is seem less so, although not discernibly sweet either. Distinctly recall liking the 2004 more than this vintage.

Petrol, wet rock, honey, green melon, pear and cinnamon spices on the nose. Great feel in the mouth, grapefruit, lemon, strong citrus finish with wet stone and pineapple making small appearances. Quite thin despite the weight, citrus acidity carries the finish along.

Heavy petrol - just too-too as it overpowers lime and dulls the wine out. Not liked at all by tasters. (5/5)
