  Pitch perfect, generous balance of productive yellow fruit flesh and earthy, edged, mineral austerity. Open hearted. Teased with perfumes of kirsch and lemon. Girded with braided vines. Musical, sharp stabs of appeal to chirping birds. Mustard. Moss-stained calcium. Drunk at ~70° F.

  This is quite dry, on the very cusp of dry and off-dry. On the first day, heavily dominant bready and nutty and a bit drying, like lemon and citrus pith. Was a little too abrasive so I gave it a night in the fridge.
  
  Second day it was much better and quite enjoyable. Sourdough, orchard and stone fruit with a toasted aroma. Palate of preserved lemons, sour green apple, grapefruit, and sour pineapple. Quite a long finish, especially for a base Riesling. Heavy acid, definitely for acid freaks. Not that balanced or pure tasting, but still quite enjoyable in a natural wine sort of way. I could have used a touch more RS for my preference, as it still feels too abrasive to be a true feinherb. Age would greatly help settle this down. 89-90 today, 90+(++) potential.

  No petrol w/ light citrus & mineral scents. Something about this wine doesn't click with me? Seemed a bit earthy with a slightly bitter finish. I'm sort of hooked on the mid level Kabinetts or slightly dryer Loosen Rieslings. This does not remind me of Loosens very pure racy ultra clean fruit & minerality. Something, here doesn't click for me. Paid $22 locally. Others may love this as the producers get high praise from others.

  Lemon/lime and a grassy/herbal note (reminds me of pyrazines).
  
  Medium plus acid with just a touch of RS to take the edge off.
  
  Another delicious Vom Boden Riesling. Ripeness is somewhere between kabinett and spatlese. Relatively aromatic for a young Riesling.
