Frauenberg Riesling
Crazy citrus nose. Bright and grassy palate. Long long finish. Yum yum. GG. Will leave this open for a day or two (if it lasts) and see what comes. Amazing producer. Great consistency. So German!

Anyway, I was a bit surprised, though maybe I shouldn't have been, to find this a lot more reticent than the Hohen-Sulzen, to the point that I'd recommend sending this one straight to the cellar and going to the 'lesser' (or at least the cheaper) wine as the one to enjoy now. The purity is all here but it didn't have that electric energy or the dynamic, serrated texture of the Hohen-Sulzen.
