A fresh, quiet rich in stonefruit entry level Riesling, creamy harmonic, fine swallowing, good+, **(+), 86-87

At firt this bottle is very lean and taut, lacking some richness of fruit, with some slow ox getting balanced, ending with a whiff of sweetness, more on the feinherb side of Riesling, *-**, around 83-84+

Our Riesling-aficionado group likes to be introduced to a Riesling from the new world, this one is on the wine list so we give it a try, lacking the stonefruit we all like so much, this one is showing more wet spices, taut, white pepper, somehow exhausting, but ending with some lively supporting acidity, *-**, around 82-83+

The three stars in the descriptive wine list are indicating something great! As this estate is not a VDP member they use the wellknown stars from the classic Auslese+ labeling, these enjoyed last four bottles of this restaurant are that deep and rich in stonefruit, more lush or voluptous buffered by a very balancing acidity, still young but tonight really delicious, if you can find this wine somewhere, highly recommended, a bargain! ***(*), around 90- 91+

From Magnum: BYO to the restaurant, tight, full of energy, dancing with a tasty tropical fruit on the palate, still young, rich fruit on the midpalate, ending long+ with vibrating acidity, from Magnum to be opened from now on! **(**-?), 91-92+ potential

From Magnum: BYO to the restaurant, this one is really electric, this Riesling tension, a textbook Nahe appearance, this young, still demanding acidity, stone licking at its best, ending with a superb saline Riesling precision, a really great bottle! ***(**), 93-94+ potential

From Magnum: the last bottle of this on the wine list of the Delta, we are the real lucky cherry pickers today!
This one is really silky, from the more warm 2011 vintage now just in it s drinking window, very rich tropical fruit such as mango and apricot, really delicious on the midpalate, ending long+, would not cellar this one for more than 3-5 years, all depending on your preferences, ***-****, around 91

The most controversial wine of the evening, paired the sweet dessert, for me a good pairing, but on its own with the high ABV (13,5%) and still present tannin and barrique influence not that easy drinking stuff, from *-***

This one is a little too light after all this great stuff before, crispy, but lacking the tension most of the other wines of tonight have shown, ** at best! Around 85- 86

One last Magnum: Biscuits, yeasty, really balanced with some supporting acid, tart, refreshing! Very good! **(*)
