2015 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling Kabinett
sort of thin on palate. but has a sneaky long after taste. Hmm. This finished last of 12. Hmmm. I am thinking not a good show and too young.
Closing
An excellent evening and a great match with northern Thai food. All of these wines were good and would be happy to drink most.
