Community Tasting Notes (1) Avg Score: 91 points

  • A challenging riesling. It has a very profound acidity that is, at least at this point, on the verge of being almost too much for me. It's powerful and big. Difficult to guess how this evolves with time. Kind of dry 'Auslese'.

    Good straw yellow colour with a golden hue. Rich and wide nose with honeycomb and waxy aromas. Ripe tropical fruits. A touch of botrytis, even. The palate is, from the start, dominated by the acidity and this wine is all about the structure. No primary fruit - some pine apple and citrus creep in in only in the long aftertaste.
