Objectively this is pretty good but it's just not my taste: kind of sweaty, tropical on the nose. There's purity, breadth and persistence but when I open dry Riesling I want electricity and freshness above all else.

Tasted blind. Citrus, tropical fruits, lychee, mango and minerality. A little spicy, oily texture. Long peppery finish. Most guests thought it was Alsatian pinot gris. We were all surprised it was an Austrian Riesling. Elegant, complex and well made.

This is a special one. List the aromas and flavours and it will sound like other top end Austrian or German riesling. But this one's got the x factor. I love it. More please.

I've not enjoyed a riesling more than this bottle. A perfect foil to tandoori monkfish, with minerality plus green and yellow fruit in spades. Very long. Delicious now and with a long future.

Okay i had this wine in all Zalto glasses to see how each one would do , and it turned out that Zalto Burgundy delivered the best experience from this wine. On the first glass from the just open bottle i had notes of petroleum , ginger , green apples , white pepper , and another note that i really can't figure out what it is... On the palate the wine comes out with fresh acidity , lemon , ginger , green apple , lemon curd ...really delicious.

Such a great nose of pineapple, peach, brine, spices, herbs, minerals, and earth. Lemon, minerals, stone fruit, tart pineapple, and earth on the palate. Mouthwatering acidity, long finish. Medium bodied. So delicious. The nose in particular is very complex and savory. C'mon, I could drink this everyday.

(Große Probe, daher nur kurz.)
In der Nase recht reif mit viel Blutorange, auch Zeste, etwas kräutrig, etwas Vanille und mit Luft auch deutlich tropisch mit reifer Ananas.
Am Gaumen recht dunkel mineralisch, mit reichlich Griff, allerdings auch etwas ausladend. Trotzdem guter Zug und etwas pikant.
Gute Länge.

Tasted at Tim Syrad Wines dinner, London, UK. Light gold colour. Peachy nose. Dry with plenty of good fruit on the palate, rich. Enjoyable.

Very fruity expressive on the nose but much more crispy on the palate. Good drinking stuff
