Elegantly sweet riesling with the acid to balance.
On the nose, ripe stonefruit accented with a touch of the minerality that's typical for the Mosel. It most certainly comes off as a riesling, but the kerosene notes have yet to become pronounced
On the palate, the texture is seamless yet not syrupy. As mentioned, it is sweet but well-balanced, drinkable on end without growing sick of the sweetness.
Overall, I drew out my glass with small sips to savor and continue revisiting it. Decades of age are left in this wine, but it's fantastic now as well.

This wine is perfection. Incredible acid balance that will age for decades- elegant and balanced a joy to drink
