I think this wine really shines as an accompaniment to food. On its own it is delicious but, at least for now, the acidity is pronounced giving it a tart quality. But that same tartness is mouthclearing. Very long pleasing finish. Nothing harsh or out of place. Sweet, red fruit aroma. Lots of fun and for the price, wonderful. i can hardly imagine a better accompaniment for Asian food, but it would pair with a wide range of dishes.

This walks the fine line between the fruitiness of a sweeter riesling and the intense mineral-driven notes of a dry riesling well. I agree with Loren a peach start that transitions to green apple. Medium acidity, not as acid-driven as many 15s I've had but the mineral notes here are intense and add nice structure. Certainly drinking well now but I feel it's a bit tight compared to where its eventual potential will take it.

A Visit to Max. Ferd. Richter (Weingut Max. Ferd. Richter): This comes off like a Spatlese to me. Beautiful nose of minerals with some peaches. On the palate, there is a bit of mulled/spice wine notes again turning more tart green apples on the finish. Open and delicious and really interesting. from strength to strength in 15.

Penetrating and persistent green apple with melon, nectarine, and soil tones.

Barely a hint of sweetness. A little bit shut down but still enjoyable
