Really fumy on the nose, giving its identity away immediately. This was a very enjoyable Riesling - a grape I don’t drink enough of - that balanced a zingy, generous palate with reasonably precise acidity. If anything, slightly one-dimensional, with little more than notes of apple, kiwi and melon in the mix. But having held onto this budget bottle for four years since I bought it, I’m very pleased with how it’s showing now at five years of age.
