Is it just me or would this wine be better without all the acid in it? Prominent alcoholic notes right up front, but with some agitation, that improved. Fruity and spicy, decent tannin, but too acidic to enjoy alone. Maybe other reviewers are right, might be better after being left open a few days. Definitely needs heavy aeration.
Drank it with spicy Lindt dark chocolate by a fire on the deck.

One of the best Rieslings I've had. Fruity, no petrol funk, crisp. Very popular at a blind tasting. — 9 years ago

Light, crisp body. Didn't love the nose. Had with shrimp and pasta, not quite bold enough to stand up to spice. Enjoyable, would buy again but only to pair with fruit or cheese, not for a dinner. — 9 years ago

Beautiful merlot infused with pure extracts of coffee and chocolate. Bold and rich with notes of caramel and burnt sugar. Sweet enough to serve alone for dessert or pair with dark chocolate. — 9 years ago

Sweet, crisp, thoroughly drinkable especially for a new wine drinker but lacking in roundness and depth. Flat. Probably would not buy again. — 9 years ago
