Not a bad bottle, but I usually drink Mosel Riesling and wanted to try something different. Not sure if it was this bottle or producer or region, but it had a slight funk to it that reminded me of Aussie Riesling. Smelled strongly of rubber, and no petrol or mineral edge I love from German Riesling normally. I think it could work with food, but not delicious on it's own. Not a bad wine, but not the beautiful purity I look for in German Riesling. I have a bottle of the 2011 I will try soon for comparison...

This has moved on a bit and is starting to lack enough acidity for me. Lovely nose of lime, elderflower, pear, very faint hints of petrol and rosewater. Front palate has lots of citrus and very ripe white fruits, with a hint of elderflower cordial, some minerality. Finish is disappointingly short. For a basic kabinett, this has done rather well, but definitely not worth keeping.

Tropical fruit, could be just a touch more acidic, or cooler.

A little fruity and sweet. Still nice balance and enjoyable for a Riesling.
