A white wine that's oxidized and has a volatile acidity issue. Booooo!!

Drier than the 2020 Bollenberg Riesling, very petrol/diesel at this point, this needs further aging to soften the big acid edges, good.

Some nice off-dry fruit (apricot?), petrol undertones, lots of mineral notes, medium-long finish, lovely.

Dry, grassy with no funk, lime zest, nice minerality.

Enjoyed a cozy glass of this more or less Spätlese style Riesling at Little Bird to go w a foie gras dish at Little Bird that was incoherently designed. The wine was lovely, rather delicate, both wet slate & tropical with bright passion fruit acidity. Too bad the wine was willing to dance but the the foie was a clumsy idea...
