  Served from a magnum.
  Nice nose, if fairly simple. Good palate - starting to integrate well.

  VDP Rheingau Riesling Review 2009 (German House, London, U.K.): Compared to their standard Riesling trocken, I found some similar components in the 1G, but looked at through a magnifying glass. Nice smooth light-citrussy entry that is offset a little bit by gooseberry-sweetness, then started pumping and pumping until my palate was completely surrounded - to me this one tastes like a loaded gun...in a good way

  WFA German First Growths Masterclass + others; 10/16/2008-10/18/2008 (Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore): This super-dry wine may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I thought it was superb and full of character. Only 5,800 bottles produced, so I feel quite privileged to have tasted it. A very pale yellow colour, almost pastel. The nose showed yeasty bread and a lifted accent that brought to mind walks through green grassland. The grassy tone faded a little in time and almost intoxicatingly perfumed white flowers came to the fore. Beautiful, seductive nose. The palate attacked where the nose left off, with tropical fruits like lychee and longan and then and more subdued layer of apricots and nectarines burst in the mouth. But once the wine hit the midpalate, it seemed to change gear completely, and became bone-dry, almost achingly so, with a streak of flinty mineral running like a laser beam all the way into the finish. Right at the end, the gears shifted again. There was a slight linger of stone fruit, almost juicy with the acidity now, and then a mini-explosion of perfume before the wine finally tailed off. Super-impressive, and this will only get better in a few years. The next question is, where on earth can I find more of this?
