February 14, 2018 - Epler, mineraler, honning, blomster sitrus. Herlig balanse mellom syre og sødme. Lang. (magnum)

November 23, 2017 - A bit thin and sour on opening; improved with air. Typical of a Mosel halbtrocken: lemony with white fruits and slate. Light body and prominent acid makes this best with food. Worked well on the Thanksgiving table. Screwcap. Edit: two days later, remainder of bottle showed improvement. More of a medium body and fuller mid-palate. Perhaps a couple of hours of air is advisable.

February 25, 2015 - No formal tasting notes taken, so this will be brief. Pop & pour. Nice nose of citrus fruit alongside a light floral scent. Very enjoyable semi-dry Riesling, excellent lift due to balance of acidity, sugars, and alcohol. My friends and I tend to prefer the 'halbtrocken', or "off dry", Reislings much more than the "trocken", or completely dry...and this bottle was a perfect example: the bottle didn't even last long enough for me to get a second pour and take notes, which is always a good sign. Excellent Price to Quality Ratio. Would definitely buy again.
