February 9, 2023 - 13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
Pale, youthful whitish-green color. The nose feels youthful and somewhat restrained with somewhat grapey overtones followed by lighter nuances of ripe citrus fruits, some beeswax, a little bit of crunchy white fruit and a touch of fresh red apple. The wine feels dry, brisk and somewhat neutral on the palate with flavors of lemony citrus fruits and saline minerality, some sweeter notes of Fuji apple, a little bit of beeswax, light stony mineral notes and a primary hint of grapey fruit. The moderately high acidity lends good sense of structure to the wine but not much intensity to the flavors. The finish is dry and somewhat neutral with flavors of tangy salinity, some lemony citrus fruit notes, a little bit of grapey fruit, light tart notes of Granny Smith apple and a hint of stony minerality.
A decent but surprisingly neutral and understated Riesling, not at all what one would expect from a Grand Cru Riesling. This is lacking all the concentration, intensity and depth of flavor typical of Grand Cru Riesling, instead coming across as a rather modest low-to-mid-tier white wine. Overpriced at 18€.1 person found this helpful Comment
