From the same lot a Auktionswein but younger vintage and lower level of ripeness, despite higher alcohol level (10 vs 8.5)
Colour slightly darker.
Honey melon, wax.
Med low body with light RS and juicy acidity, more of an off-dry wine. Again melon with hints of citrus on the palate. Melon aftertaste with a dried fruit and mineral finish .

Dense, aromatic, intense semi-dry Riesling of distinct characteristics
Light amber colored. Slowly rolling in the glass.
Pronounced aromas of ginger honey, camomile, apricot, paraffin film...
Dense mouthfeel of fine texture. Medium-plus body flavored with lemongrass, anise, apricot, peach, bruised apple. Clear mineral tone. Pretty sweet (no cloying) and acidic at the same time.
Fading slowly leaving honey + lemon aftertaste.
Paired fine with blue mold cheese (gorgonzola). Good as digestif as well.

Not all bad, but not interesring enough for me. The colour is a little dull, brownish red, and the wine is kind of onedimentional in taste. It is not as full bodied as I expected, but it stll has much acid or tannin which then becomes too dominating for my taste. There may be many people who will find this wine to their liking, though.

Oct 27th, 2014Full, rich taste, but a little too sweet to be an absolute favorite. The sweetness makes it lack the refreshment I am looking for in a white wine, but if that is set aside, this is a wine I think will be enjoyable for a lot of people, maybe most on the female side. I have no other agenda to say this than that most women I know like sweeter wines more than I do.
