Community Tasting Notes 5

  February 26, 2024 - It was good, but did not deliver the energy and freshness I am loving in Riesling. Maybe also a food pairing issue.
  
  This bottle was open for business, not reductive or anything.
  I have one bottle left, which I will probably drink in 2-5 years.

  January 7, 2024 - Sorry, didn't take any formal notes. Simply enjoyed!
  
  One lovely thing about Riesling is it can go easily over 3 nights, or even longer, in the fridge without any loss in enjoyment. I consumed this bottle over 3 notes and it was consistent.
  
  I was actually expecting it to be highly acidic, so was pleasantly surprised to find it very well balanced. Medium acidity, a bit fruity but in a good way, nicely dry.
  
  I really enjoyed this food friendly wine!

  July 10, 2023 - Flintstone, petrol, citrus flavors with salinity and minerality. I was expecting more given the ratings of other vintages (I’m a beginner in Mosel rieslings)

  January 15, 2022 - a tad underwhelming. lots of pineapple and lychee with a hint of white flowers and maybe saffron. lacked some excitement on the palate and didn’t have the tension of most GG. very good but not great

  November 2, 2021 - By the glass at Selene Restaurant in Fira, Santorini. To be honest I was expecting more. Nose is peachy and tropical but it lacks that oomph I was expecting from a GG. Palate is similar, more orchard fruits, mangoes, pineapples, but still not as strong and sharp as I was expecting. Pretty delicious with a carpaccio and zucchini dish, but overall this could have been drier and more electric for my tastes. Perhaps, as MFW suggest, it just needs more time to really develop. No rating for now.
