Community Tasting Note

• Herr Big Ben Likes this wine: 91 points

  January 15, 2018 - A classy Riesling
  Perfect balance and good racyness. A lot of minerality coming from the slate.
  
  But after a few minutes in the glass the pear turns into quince and honey. Stays firm as long an it is cold but if it turns a few degrees warmer it gets wider and a bit botritys turns out.
  
  Not really disappointed but a little bit. Any other vintage is stronger (expect 2012)
  Better drink now than later
