Vintage 2012 | old school Mosel: smell of honey, butterscotch and awesome balance with so much acidity that it will live another 10+ years without doubt| paired with melon and ham

Nose notes: Apricot, Gunpowder and Flint.
Appearance: Pale straw color, slightly viscous.
Taste: very mineral driven, moderately sweet, sucks the moisture out of your mouth. Citrusy, grapefruit and lemon.
