Beautiful nose with a lot of diesel. This has aged gracefully, the acid has bee tamed and intgrated nicely with the residual sugar. Balanced and creamy. Medium length finish.

Some intense stuff. At first I thought it might be oxidized (the cork had soaked through) but the smell blew off. Typical riesling nose, with honey, lemon, mango and ginger, and some gasoline in the background. Packed on the palate and it would feel rich and sweet except that the acidity here is positively electric and sends your head spinning. Finish lasts for 20+ seconds.

Amazing purity to the honey, green apple and brioche on the nose. There's a deep mineral undercurrent as well. A little more than 60 g/L residual sugar makes this the sweetest Odinstal we tasted. But a laser beam of acid deftly holds the palate together. Great balance and complexity.

Lots of pear, apple, honey and very good acidity to offset the sweetness

Delicious with racy acidity and great balance. Had purity of fruit with asian pear, green apple and honey and a lingering finish
