A Visit To Jos. Christoffel Jr. In Urzig (Weingut Jos Christoffel Jr): Tasted during lots of conversation, notes are limited. The nose is still a bit funky, with yeast notes from spontaneous fermentation overriding the fruit. I guess it needs some more time in bottle. The palate is in good shape however, reminding me of a fruit salad with acidity. Flavors of lemons, apples, bananas, and oranges all blend together nicely.

Tasting Riesling at Jos. Christoffel Jr. (Ürzig, Germany): The nose has a fairly dark character to it, showing the red earth of the vineyard along with overripe apples and some floral notes. The floral suggestion is fulfilled on the palate coupled with good apple flavors. Lime flavors settle into the sides of the palate. The dark heavy note from the nose lingers underneath the fruit all the way across. The floral note is interesting because it seems to come and go on the palate, moving around the apple flavors.
