This is your #riesling if you’re not a fan of the petrol / diesel notes, once this has had a chance to breathe a bit. While I don’t mind those, this is a nice alternative terroir expression - subtle floral and peach notes on nose. @Kurt Schuster is spot on with the crystalline descriptor. The palate is more about the luscious fruit texture backed by sturdy acidity and a touch of RS rather than a lot of complexity. Where else can you get #grandcru #alsaceriesling other than #costco for ~$18? — a year ago

2006. Rich, filtered apple gold. Nose of Bosc pear, baked lemon, warm yellow apple, lemon tart, coconut husk, dry sage, roasted almond, and honey crystal. Palate shows honey flash before flood of lemon juices, lime juice and pith, sweet grapefruit and lemongrass. Sweet at 16, balanced and finishing dry and refreshing!

Afternoon sipping #alsaceriesling on vacation. Isn’t life grand? Pear and green apple, some petrol notes, green onion on the nose. Medium acidity, apple and pear on palate - begging for sushi, mild Asian food or even off-spicy Indian food pairings, yet perfectly at ease sipping solo. ~$17 at Total Wine with discounts: decent QPR for the sensory experience. — 4 years ago

Golden apples and lemons, tangy high acidity with just a pinch of residual sugar to give it that lemonade apple cider taste. #alsaceriesling #riesling — 7 years ago
