Community Tasting Note

  July 2, 2013 - (German Riesling Tasting, WineGate)
  Clear with pale lemon color, showing petillance.
  Clean nose with medium intensity, flint and petrol, lemon leaves, alcohol hints (medicinal ?). Young
  Dry, medium alcohol (13,5%), medium body, medium intensity, medium acidity, alcohol burn instantly, thin concentration, medicinal again, doesn’t feel right at all, too aggressive. There is no fruit to back this up apart from some citrus here and there, mineral medium finish. Young
  I can’t tell if this is a flawed bottle or not. Premium price (59,50euros) Major let down from this one.
  
  Everyone else thought there was something strange with this one apart from Lazaros, maybe he knows something we don't ? I have to get another bottle to sure. I just can't believe this won't be a great wine

  I suddently got an image of Robert Weil singing Deep Purple's "I've been mistreated" !!!! Thanks for this valuable intel.
