A frustrating wine as someone who is a devout fan. You can tell the vintage got them. It's not at all bad but pretty out there and does not read classic Mosel by any means. I think Terry Theise called it Mosel Riesling on a bender.

Pale yellow color. Yellow fruit with minerality on the nose. Lemon PEZ candy zestiness and chalkiness. Decent acidity and lingering mineral finish. As an 'acid head', if anything would want even more acidity. Good stuff
