Riesling Swag 2018 (Vlet Hamburg): Magnum. Medium yellow colour. The nose is a bit waxy with bee pollen, yellow flowers, some honey and also some citrus fruit (lime and lemon) as well as hints of green spring herbs. In the mouth, it's quite "lean and mean", quite acidic, a bit simple and rustic in texture, but with impressive lightness and airiness. Drinks well and has kept incredibly well.

Riesling SWAG 2018 (Restaurant Vlet, Hamburg, Germany): My first Auslese trocken vom Grünhaus. Out of Mag. Super interesting nose with the typical Grünhaus herbs, smoke, a bit of bacon fat, floral notes but also a ripe component. Good acidity, but on the mid-palate quite broad and with a bit of creaminess in the finish. Missing a bit the total elegance and the extra layer a bit of sugar can deliver. Will not get any better, drink now.
