Community Tasting Note

• Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine: 93 points

  June 5, 2019 - At home. Drank from Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow gold colour. Thin legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of powdery flint, citrus lemon, pineapple, slate minerality, saline wet stones minerality, hint of petroleum. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, mouth-watering high acidity, low alcohol (12.5%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of saline salt, slate and flint and limestone minerality, rich honey cream, citrus lemon, pineapples, ripe melon. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Prime time to drink. I like the cleanness and precision acidic cut here. Sure tastes like a GG to me, though the mystery for me is why is this bottle from a GG site is labelled as Riesling trocken old vines and not GG?
  From the Berg Rottland vineyard in the village of Rudesheim in Rheingau.
