  Riesling is so damn good. The 89 point score is strictly comparing to other rieslings, but when comparing to other white varietals, this would be a mid-90 rating. Granny smith apple, maple on the nose. Medium acidity, light finish. Nice bottle for $25, all day long baby!

  Pale yellow tinting slightly green when looking through and at the same time reflected gold. Slow in glass only the weakest of legs, 8% alcohol designated auslese and our liquor store did not have it in dessert wines section so I interpreted to serve with entree of lentil soup and bratwurst with mustard. This was impeccable pairing and complemented the sweetness of the pork so well. Carried itself through the moderate spice in the soup too.
  
  First glass at fridge temperature was too cold, second about 25 min later was much better.
  
  Nose is delicate apricot. Palate confirms and adds floral and honey. Finish experiences a nice twist revealing a note of lime zest as the mouth finishes very clean and not at all sticky. Some smooth river stone characteristics in middle but this is not predominantly a minerally focussed bottle at this age.
  
  This was really delightful and consider it to be worth the higher pricetag relative to the peers it shares a shelf with. Serving alongside savory food rather than dessert felt like the correct choice.

  Deep yellow in color with aromas of stone fruit, wet stone, apricot, and nectarine. Lively and juicy. Sweet apple, peach, and citrus on the palate. It’s bold and still juicy with great acid.
