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.

This is spectacular. Rich, almost warm. Orchards here! Thanks, Van.

Stone fruit, citrus, nice minerality. Golden slightly brown colour. Likely a cellar candidate.

Smacks you in the face. Alsace Riesling at its core, starts with petrol than changes to stone fruit and citrus. Very strong minerality, probably could age for a while.

Ripe 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.
