The nose has the terpenic notes that I was hoping to avoid and these tend to mask timid floral aromas, and maybe some even more elusive pear. In the mouth, the wine is similarly flavoured with a commendable combination of austerity and richness; bone dry and free of oak.
I will say that the wine is very well made, but it is not for me; I will add that I am not receptive to the petrochemical sensations associated with Riesling. So what am I doing drinking this bottle? Well, first I am always trying to expand my tasting territory, next I was hoping to eschew these dreaded flavours by drinking the wine young and finally my supplier assured me that even with age these were unlikely to develop in this specific wine; not so on the evidence of this bottle.
Probably a good to very good wine in its own way, but largely wasted on me. If I understand the back label correctly, only 400 bottles were produced.235 views
