I bought a case because I liked the 2017. After taking a bottle 3 places it was unanimous — not worth drinking. I’m pouring out the other 9 bottles tonight.

This is a really interesting wine. It looks, smells, and tastes like a spatlese trocken. Nice balance. Maybe a little short on the finish. But I also think this was $19 at the PA state store. Not sure where you’re going to find too many other Rieslings with this much character at that price tag.
