  Nice with smoky food, a bit stinky upon opening, quite ripe tropical fruits. Nice wine, but I'll stick to the German stuff!

  Ripe and aromatic Riesling with notes of: Tropical fruit, honey, flinty. Good and long finish. With some food next to it, it was very enjoyable. On its own a bit too extreme for me.

  BYOB dinner NOTK (Rotterdam, NL): Stood next to Keller Hubacker GG 2012 and it (evidently) lost the battle. Very ripe, but not with the elegance and leanness that the Keller possesses. Smokey, firework, honey, ripe lemon. Medium+ acidity, long finish

  - Light gold color and aromas of pineapple, melon, apricot and peach. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of apple, apricot and lemon with a medium/full body. Bright texture with a medium finish - Well made young riesling. refreshing sharpness. Good body with lots of fruity flavours. Let it come together or give some air.
