  Popped and poured into a Glasvin Universal at cellar temp. Natural cork. 45 g/L of RS, 8% ABV. By report harvested at 80 Oeschle.
  
  Aromas burst with cool green apple, minty herbs, and wet stones. The palate is energetic and tense, squeezing your salivary glands with salted limeade. The drive is excellent, and if the mid palate is slightly one-dimensional, it does segue into a nice long finish dominated by the introduction of sharp ginger (totally agree with MFW here).
  
  This was a notably demonstrative wine. Precise to the point that I could pinpoint aromas and flavors and find them again in the same place. Really interesting and lovely, and not overripe, if a bit straightforward. There is a notable lack of creaminess here. Interested to try others from this range.

  A nice classic, Kabinett--delicate and floral, light bodied, and acid that helps this present as just a hint off-dry. Not overly complex, but a long finish.
  
  A fun riesling that you don't have to think about too much, but can just enjoy. Nonetheless, still enough stuffing here to let this age a few years.

  Drank this bottle the night after the Steinmetz WS Kab. Both are still very primary and while different, I can't really describe the differences.
  
  The similarities are that they are both delicious with citrusy and floral notes and incredible upside. I think I preferred the WehSonn now, but it's like Godfather vs Godfather II. Over time, I might oscillate between which one I love more, but they are both great.
