Palate: vibrant and energetic mouth feeling. stony clean and fresh with ripe acidity of citrus. juicy and zesty. medium on the body with long and dry finish.

Pretty nice riesling indeed which is enjoyable now and a decade to go. I had this with dry style riesling with mild Chinese food and it seemed to play its role well. At this price tag and the given satisfaction, I personally would not mind at all to stock up more. Fine personality indeed.
