This was one of the last two bottles on the caviste's shelves and my best so far - singing really eloquently; I reproduce my description from nearly 18 months ago almost word for word but somehow there seemed to be something indefinably extra.
There was a lovely bouquet of fresh white fruit and flowers with a sprinkling of spice with hints of mineral and faint petrol. The dry medium bodied palate was softened by a delightful fragrance similar to that from including faint petrol, lively mouth-watering acidity and a nicely firm and long backbone with a saline touch. Excellent.

Tasted blind so some time to deduce Alsace riesling from competing Austrian and German possibilities. The more floral profile and honeyed notes took me to Alsace, and the gold color the older vintage. Very balanced with great honeyed lime/lemon profile, rich texture.

toasty nose with a little petrol Pink grapefruit on the palate, nice and tangy This is really open now, even tastes a little sweet though there is very little residual sugar here. Still young but drinking nicely now Excellent

No notes, but a mature, dry, round, elegant and smooth Riesling with notes of flowers, honey and petroleum. 89-90 p.

Goldgelb. Intensiver mürber Apfel. Elegante Säure. Lang und geschmeidig. Grossartig.
