Riesling SWAG (Restaurant Vlet, Hometown, Hamburg): As I am not really a fan of Austrian Riesling this bottle is really convincing, a lot of finesse and elegance on the palate, really deep stonefruit and lots of minerals, ending long, ***-****, 90- 92+?

Riesling SWAG 2018 (Restaurant Vlet, Hamburg, Germany): Very deep and intense nose with aromas of ripe peach (I think there was a bit of botrytis at play although not much), wild flowers, citrus zest and a lot of spices. Also on the palate very intense, full bodied but not much fruit (a bit of grapefruit and citrus) and an incredible sea salt finish which I absolutely adore. On the flipside it has a bit too much heat in the back-end imo. The quality is not arguable rather the style.

Riesling SWAG 2018 (Restaurant Vlet, Hamburg / Speicherstadt): Clean, medium golden yellow. Intense, developing nose, compact, deep with lots of spices and mineral notes. Dry, good, lively acidity. 13,5% abv alc. Incredibly salty (salted lemons), herbs, few fruit, no or very few botrytis. Great texture and balance. Potential for at least 5+ years of development. 93+

Tasted at home. A very beautiful Riesling with depth and character. Aromatics hint at botrytis and are very giving (mineral, peach etc.)
Just singing!
