  Nice full, creamy texture, but more lemony in character than I'd prefer.

  The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of lime peel, lemon peel, kerosene, honey and hints of blossom. The wine is medium-dry in the mouth with a high mouthwatering acidity. It has a medium body and medium alcohol. It has medium(+) intensity flavours of lime peel, lemon peel, kerosene, honey and hints of blossom. The finish is long.
  
  It is a very good quality wine. It has a very nice fruit concentration, a lingering finish and a good balance between sweetness and acidity. On the other hand a better example of this style would show more complexity. Can drink now, but it has enough acidity and fruit concentration to develop more complex tertiary aromas in the next 5-8 years.

  very good riesling, light and incisive. Well-matched to pork roast. I am not sure I noticed much effect from the "sur lie", but it is a good example of German riesling.

  - Yellow color with medium forming legs and aromas of peach. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of peach with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish.
