Bright and refreshing on the palate with loads of mineral and a hint of lime. The acidity is good and wine itself isn't ponderous or overly alcoholic. A balanced Austrian Riesling.
This was a lot lighter on its feet than the intensely large-scaled and cask-influenced '97 Fass Severin Vinothek I had a couple of months earlier. This has some petrol and floral elements on the nose with a slick, glycerin texture on the palate. I'm not getting any pronounced oxidative notes.
I remember this have a touch more acid and energy than the Nikolaihof Vinothek, a slimmer profile, and less polish on the palate. I liked this quite a bit.
Cool, steely, and dry on the palate. A mineral-forward wine with a hint of white fruit and citrus that has a long, tangy, acid finish. A young CFE, but a really good one.
This has beautiful white fruit on the palate, a delicate touch on the palate that is not too ripe, good acidity that balances the sweetness, and a real intensity of flavor. Delightful.
Not the most detailed note here: "Not super ripe, but still light on its feet. Great!"
Considering this is a young Auslese, which are not my favorite, I must have liked this quite a bit despite the sweetness. I'm assuming the acidity was on point. Also, I do find Graacher Himmelreich tends to show better young than Wehlener Sonnenuhr, so this doesn't surprise me.
