  Overall, disappointing.
  
  The rather nice scent is overlayed by a dumb musty tone, although that dissipates after some time.
  
  This wine unquestionably has some assets: the minerality and slight petrol tone carries the promise of a good wine.
  
  Problems are:
  - there's too little of the assets, and foremost
  - it has a punishing acidity, even in Mosel terms. There is a brutal amount of unripe ananas-like acidity which gets to dominate the wine and bury everything else under it
  
  Perhaps in 1-2 years it will all settle and it will be a cool wine.
  For now... only for the hardcore acidity fans.
