Top Notes For
Kerosene, unripe apple, sour grapefruit, lime. Full and vibrant on the palate, tart, very youthful. Acidity obviously v high, not a great deal of depth but an enjoyable wine. Nose actually reminiscent of Mosel Kabinett but palate very linear and a little simple.

Dec 12th, 2017Ripe fruit, lemon, tartness, decent length, it's all there, but still it misses depth and a punch at the end I would expect in a wine from such great vintage.
