  4/17/2024 - uncorked.fr Likes this wine:

  No bells or whistles on this little beauty but given the name of the wine, I think that is exactly the point. Although certainly not very complex, it is incredibly vibrant, pure and zesty and the stony, slightly saline finish lingers on and on. The acidity and minerality admittedly might be a bit much for some but I have to say that I really enjoyed this.

  7/8/2022 - thomasbahr80 Does not like this wine: 85 Points

  Colour: medium straw, no sediment
  Nose: dominated by petrol, not much fruit
  Mouth: Petrol, citrus, "stahlig", rather closed at the moment, more driven by minerality and dusty notes
  
  Not my preferred style of Riesling, to linear and fruit/complexity missing, might also be currently in the difficult transition phase

  Just a few notes. Apples, minerals, good and focused acidity. Clean wine.
