Before swirling: sweet, light nose of young ice-wine. After swirling came petrol and smell of old watchmaker's shop (some industrial, mechanical smell). On the palate there was lemon, sweet grapefruit and some honey. You could tell that it was an aged Riesling - some nice depth and thoroughness in this wine. Unfortunately, finish wasn't to my liking - too much bitterness. (B-) Have another bottle in my cellar - will probably have it after at least 3 years.

Nose of lemon, petrol, white peach, sea salt and mint. Juicy, refined and slightly bitter palate of grapefruit, pepper, herbs and minerals. A good wine, but I prefer the leaner German version... from Nahe?... Maybe it's the vintage... 89+
