Other than lacking intensity, this wine was just fine. Muted petrol nose, round and balanced, seemed more Alsatian in style and attack than German, easy and balanced. Pear, limes, mineral. It didn't last a single round with 4 drinkers and we all wished we had another glass to continue to consider this 7 yr old a bit further. At around $15 a bottle it beats many wines available today at loftier prices.
Still, drink up. Its not getting any better but the screw cap has served this wine very well. Still fresh. Worth a try.

Nose: petrol and lime Palate: Too much of a petrol and rubber band taste. Decent acidity. Not enough minerality. Finishes with hints of tangy lime and pear.
This Riesling is just little above average in my opinion.

Lemon and lime. Minerality. Salinity. Crushed shell. Good solid performer with a lot of complexity.

A little sulfur and kerosene notes in the nose, with lemon, pear and stone on the palate. Very dry,good finish, surprisingly good.
