  There is a petrol smell right off the top. Nice acidity and green apple flavors. I think there's a decent balance of dryness and sweetness. Also get some lemon notes towards the end.
  
  Drinking well on night 2. That nose of gasoline/petrol turned into more of a rubbery thing, and the palate is every bit as good. Finish is stronger than I thought last night. It's working really nice with the sushi I'm eating.

  Stoney, fresh and citrusy aromas.
  On the palate medium bodied, with decent acidity(could have more).
  Sour lemons for days. Almost too much. Some honey dew, white flowers and minerality. Refreshing, clean style, just not that exciting. But could see this going well on a hot summer`s day with a sea food pasta. No problem.

  Appearance: Bright and clear, it has light lemon-green color, with wide watery rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium (-) intensity of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of muscat, floral notes of acacia, mineral notes of stony, hints of maturity notes of petrol. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Off-dry, with high acidity, the wine has low alcohol and light body, demonstrating medium (-) intensity flavors of citrus fruit of lemon, green fruit of muscat, floral notes of acacia, mineral notes of stony. The wine has a medium finish.
  Conclusion: Good quality German Riesling with a fairly light intensity of typical varietal characters on the nose, demonstrating reasonable complexity, the wine is fresh and crisp, with a slightly off-dry palate, fairly light on concentration, with a decent length. It is a wine suitable to drink now and not intend for further ageing.
