Very light bodied and mild dry FLX Riesling. Faint nose of lemon and lime. (Very few petrol notes). Watered down flavors of lemon, lime and melon. Very low acidity level. Drinkable, but I expect more from this producer. Guessing 2015 was a tough vintage?

Classic Riesling nose, clean on the palate, but I wanted more acidity.

Crisp and clean. Nose dominated by Bosc pear, lemon-lime, faint citrus blossom and blanched almond. Gritty pear, juicy lemon-lime citrus flavors lead a lean-but-not-austere palate. It’s juicy and mouth-watering, with good verve , and a distinct slate note toward the end of a long, dry finish. #flxwine #nywine

Great flavor development, honeysuckle with petrol on the nose, but lacking some concentration.

Good shape, despite the age. I was pleasantly surprised. It didn’t taste 8 years old, more like 4-5. One of the better bottles I’ve had, it held up quite well. Probably had a couple more years on it at least.
