Solid village-level Riesling from a very good vintage. Petrol on the nose. Very flavourful on the palate with typical Riesling notes and some from ageing. Well-balanced, good acidity. On its peak now. Would recommend to decant immediately before drinking.

In hindsight, 'it's not everyone' wine', a comment made by the lady who presented the wine, should have been a warning sign. We ignored it, putting too much trust in the excellent year that 2015 was and the brand Wegeler.
The scent is dominated by petrol tones, which in and of itself is not a negative, although it got quite suspicious that we don't smell *anything* else in this.
The attack is kind of sobering; this wine consists mostly of a rather unrefined acidity, and that's it. It has more body than your usual dry Rheingau Riesling, but it doesn't make use of such body, so to say.
All in all, I must say it's a pretty weak performance to produce such a trivial, banal wine from an outstanding vintage that 2015 was, and from an excellent place that Oestrich is.
