Bah. The only German Riesling I could find in Kauai outside of a restaurant. Way out of balance; this is like an overweight prostitute...way too showy creamy and sweet honeyed on the nose, not enough acid wit to counterbalance and give birth to a conversation. This wine has the curious attribute of a phantom midpalate, like rushing down a slope from attack to finish wondering where the middle went. Ouch. I figured 2011&spat&piesporter would be a shitshow.... But have grown tired of IPAs and had no other choice. Petrol / latex aromas already at age 3? This is wonky shit. Only Chambers&Chambers or Southern bring wine out here. This is like drinking imitation Twinkies. "How could a riesling go so wrong?" Jane asks.
