Apples and pears and a touch of kerosene and woodsmoke. Searing acidity, intensely racy. White pepper on the finish - a bit like a Grüner Veltliner. Impressive energy and nerve.

The wine is still rich with flavours of lemon, peach an some petrol notes but had lose much of the acid since april 2019. But theese Rieslings from Alsace have proved to last long and year 2008 was very good vintage.

Still some freshness, lemon and minerality. The petroliumnotes start to take over on the palate but still even som peach an citrus left. Complexity , good balance and deep. Probably over its peak but very good.

Just a perfect example of find aged Alsace riesling. Still very pale and remarkably youthful, it pings with lemon zest, peach skin, a gravelly minerality, toasted marshmallow - something new with every sip. Utterly dry. The sharp acid finish goes on and on. Delicious.
