Medium yellow in color. Strongest aroma is petrol, followed by lemon and other citrus, slightly floral. On the palate, it is light with moderate acidity -- not quite what I would call "fresh" and definitely not brisk, but it does have the barest hint of effervescence. It is dry, no significant sweetness. This wine is still drinking well, even if it ?the acidity has mellowed from a it's younger years. Pleasant.

Distinct notes of lemon/citrus and minerality. On night one this wasn't as approachable as a Messmer kabinett but am very curious to taste it again on day two.

Pretty shut down and non giving on night 1 so put a cork in her. Night 2 one of the best Riesling experiences I have been a part of in quite a while, absolutely lovely. Just a faint hint of honeyed fruit, great acidic spine and very full in mouth. No gasoline in sight (unfortunately, me love the petrol) but this wine was impossible to put down and bottle disappeared quickly. I was very tempted to pop another but decided to let em rest in cellar for a few more years. Even my Wife enjoyed it and Riesling is her least favorite grape - go figure!

Melon, citrus, sea shell, rubber. Strong finish. Not likely to improve.

This is a perfect summer wine - just sweet enough, great acid, clean finish. Wish I had more.
