  First 67° F drink from the bottle: this is not so dry at all. Candy sugar mixes with sensations of crowded summer fairs in a silverskin of saccharide. Great expression of Riesling character, plenty acid, framed soulful Polaroid. I'll give this a chill, heat up the steak skillet, and report back with an edit here.
  8/20. 3 DAYS later, it is a better drink. The slick streak of confectionary has melted into the fabric, leaving something approaching the sensation of dryness. The frame is narrowly bounded and filled with action. Just now, I am I able to read its Kamptal mark of salt-cured herb stems. Acidity here is a tempest in a teapot, lashing and domesticated. The barest, slightest, canned fruit cocktail vibe just won't vacate, even as it coexists with something recognizable as a successful terroir wine.

  Serious dry Kamptal Riesling, sourced from the terraced vineyard plots (mainly primary rock soils) around the hamlet of Zöbing (municipality of Langenlois, about twelve kilometers northeast of Krems an der Donau). Bright lemon-green in color with silver reflections and an expressive nose revealing scents of ripe pear, apple, honey, lots of mineral nuances and a slight touch of petrol. The well-balanced palate is characterized by juicy yellow stone- and citrus fruit, a good depth, quite a viscous texture and is framed by a beautiful line of acidity. Complex aftertaste with a delicate touch of honey. An excellent companion to fish and white meat dishes. Optimal enjoyment: now–2025.
  
  Degelijke droge Riesling uit het Kamptal, geteeld op de geterrasseerde wijngaardpercelen (voornamelijk urgesteinbodems) rondom het dorpje Zöbing (gemeente Langenlois, gelegen op ongeveer twaalf kilometer ten noordoosten van Krems an der Donau). Helder citroengeel van kleur met wat zilveren schakeringen en een expressieve neus met aroma’s van rijpe peer, appel, honing, een pak minerale nuances en een lichte petroltoets. Het fraai uitgebalanceerde smaakpatroon wordt gekenmerkt door sappig geel steen- en citrusfruit, een goede diepgang, een vrij viskeuze textuur en wordt geschraagd door een fijne aciditeitsstructuur. Complexe afdronk met een delicate honingtoets. Past uitstekend bij vis en schotels met wit vlees. Optimaal drinkgenot: nu–2025.

  Im Glas helles Strohgelb, grüne Reflexe, mittlere Viskosität. In der Nase grüner Apfel, Steinobst, ein wenig Honig. Mit etwas Luft eine schöne, fruchtige Nase. Am Gaumen bei mittlerer Säure ein samtiger Körper. Da ist wieder das Steinobst, der Honig, Grapefruit. Im Abgang mineralisch, wieder dieses Säure-/Süße Spiel. Ein sehr guter Wein mit tollem PLV. Jetzt trinkbar, Lagerfähigkeit für weitere 3 bis 5 Jahre.
