Tight nose but found a little nectarine or unripe peach. Good nectarine and a little petrol on the attack, but all flavors faded pretty quickly which was a little disappointing. Decent acidity but not overwhelming (as noted already in other notes), so pretty good balance. Not a great wine, but just pretty good. Cool glass cork, though.

Nice color - a pale straw. The nose has sharp citrus, petrol, and honeydew notes. While not a riesling expert by any means, this riesling has nice complexity and feels young. While drinking it, I snacked on a white nectarine and the combination went incredibly well together. The wine itself exhibited flavors of peaches, delicate apricots, with a sprinkling of connamon toast crunch. The finish lasts a nice while, and while not overly acidic, I feel like this wine would pair nicely red snapper, sole, pastas, and lemon seasoned chicken. For the price, this is a nice find of a riesling. Glass cork too!

Very nice Rheingau spatlese trocken, with pleasant nose of flowers and citrus. Flavors of grapefruit and lime, with acidity not overwhelming. Wonderful German food wine...had with rack of pork with carmelized onions.
