  Maybe NO. Good clear wine wiht petroly nose that did not follow thru on taste, though it did open up a bit as it warmed. Early in-mouth was good but then there was a very odd finish,, that was a bit so nice chemical taste; so odd I don’t know how to describe it. Sort of spoilt it for me.

  We had a tasting at the winery, and overall, for me, though the wines were obviously noble and good, overall I was not super-impressed, so possibly just not my kind of winery. Certainly I will not pay the prices they demand for this level of quality.
  
  Now to this wine, the Schieferterassen is their most basic dry wine (still costs some 18 EUR) - they decline to provide analytics but it doesn't feel completely dry. Maybe 5g of residual sugar?
  
  Anyway, while the scent is mind blowing - absolutely beautiful, aristocratic stuff, including raspberry, elderberry and honey; in taste it is all but absent as of yet, surely a sign of its youth.
  
  So I would strongly advise against opening this today, it needs an at the very least a year of cellaring time.
