Indeed full bodied. This is really a good riesling. notes of citrus, green apples, ginger and a vague bit of sweetness in wrapped in a salty minerality harmonising and strengthen the various elements. Bought this at DKK 169 ($28), at that tag a real steal. Ready to drink now, but so vivid that it easily should last until 2018-2020 and perhaps even longer.

(Hirsch Riesling Gaisberg) ($57.00) This is a bit sunnier than Gobelsburg’s, though high notes still prevail; mints and white flowers; lavish perfume, a slinky writhing body — the girl (or the boy) has the moves, with hopelessly seductive juiciness, yet also with neurosurgical detail. + +

This had a little flinty character, but great body balance, and finish. Benefited from decanting.

Dry white peach, light lemon. Mineral and saline, herbaceous and balanced. Off-dry, bit of fizz. Light on its' feet yet structured. Phenomenal.

In a very good window now. Full and long. See previous note. Excellent balance, clean and pure. Easily one of the better Rieslings

Typical bouquet for the place and variety. Lithe texture and weight, a kiss of RS, with a waxy mouthfeel. Serious acid, great balance.
