  Very deep gold. Pretty closed nose too. Cork OK. But this bottle wasn't singing in anyway. Bit of lime fruit, decent acidity. Heading to dark marmalade territory.

  Well rounded and full taste but past its peak in terms of structure/acidity

  Several days ago, details have faded. Good bottle, a bit too young, IMHO; still too much density of material buffering the flavor-aromatic elements. Better the second day: more wirey, tangy. Struck again by the similarities between aged Rheingau-Ruhr and mature 1er Chablis. Impossible to have too much of either. Yum.

  Young, but not too young. Hefty lanolin overcoat blankets much of the flavor, initially, but, with generous air time, delicious, medium-bodied Riesling fruit steps to the fore, upholstering a razorback spine of characteristic, steely acidity. Some development still there, perhaps, but good now with adequate time.

  At home. Drank from Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow gold colour. Thin legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of powdery flint, citrus lemon, pineapple, slate minerality, saline wet stones minerality, hint of petroleum. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, mouth-watering high acidity, low alcohol (12.5%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of saline salt, slate and flint and limestone minerality, rich honey cream, citrus lemon, pineapples, ripe melon. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Prime time to drink. I like the cleanness and precision acidic cut here. Sure tastes like a GG to me, though the mystery for me is why is this bottle from a GG site is labelled as Riesling trocken old vines and not GG?
  From the Berg Rottland vineyard in the village of Rudesheim in Rheingau.
