  Appearance medium gold
  On the nose the intensity is medium with aromas/flavors of fresh and grilled lemon, apples, apricots, petroleum, fennel. The wine is developed.
  The wine is dry with high acidity, medium alcohol and body. The intensity is pronounced and the finish is long.
  The quality is very good and can drink now potential for aging if you like a Riesling with tertiary flavors

  Surprised of the low acidity. Allthough kind of liked it anyway but a little to warm, late harvest perhaps. Dont know the percentage but a bit of residual sugar, more than standard in this area I would say. Honey in scent, rounded and quite thick body. Some peteoluem.

  6/9/2022 - FiggySmalls Does not like this wine:

  Figured I'd try this despite the notes below. I'm not an acid fiend so I reasoned that might be why some notes were less than praiseworthy. The notes below are, however, spot on.
  
  Almost no perceptible acid and it drinks somewhat hot. Lacking in aromatics as well IMO.
  
  Drinks like a thin-bodied low acid warm chardonnay. Puzzling and disappointing even if this didn't have the GG price tag
