  Gråpäron, honung, mandarin och en hel del mineral i doften. Smak av blodapelsin (särskilt beskan), ganska fyllig med bra längd. Inget uppseendeväckande men helt OK, dock inte riktigt Riesling som jag vill ha den. Alltför anonym.

  The wine looks greenish gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like pineapple, apricot, peach and apple. It tastes like apple, peach and mineral. The body is light/medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Enough fruitiness to accompany asian food.

  Pale yellowish-green color.
  
  Very cool, mineral and refreshing nose with intense aromas of ripe citrus fruits, sweet apples, some wet stones and a floral hint of honeyed wild flowers. The wine is relatively light-bodied and quite bracing on the palate yet showing some ripeness and sense of concentration. Overall the wine comes very mineral, steely and structure-driven - even somewhat austere - with precise, bone-dry flavors of lemony citrus fruits, tart green apples, some wet stones and incisive steely minerality. Racy acidity. The finish is crisp, mineral and bone-dry with acid-driven flavors of lemony citrus fruits, some steely minerality and a hint of honeyed richness.
  
  A very crisp, racy and almost austere Wachau Riesling showing great structure and intensity, but not that much complexity. Overall the wine feels pretty linear and straightforward, making it a nice food wine for seafood or green salads, but offering rather little pleasure beyond that. Perhaps a few years of cellaring might grant the wine's flavors some welcome depth. Somewhat worth its price at 14,88€.

  9/10/2014 - avp Does not like this wine:

  Note from 3rd day open.
  Peach and pineapple nose with lemon curd and crushed rocks.
  Dry and quite full bodied on the palate with rather big concentration and steely acidity cutting through the fat. Rich but quite delineated. Minerally notes in the mid-length to long aftertaste.
  Very hard to enjoy at first. Reductive and sulfurous without any real joy. But much better now on day3. I've never been a fan of Wachau. But if one enjoys such seriousness in wines, then this is a serious effort (though not a complex one). Especially for the price.

  Some apple aromas on the nose. Medium bodied, very dry with refreshing, vibrant acidity and rather subdued yellow fruit that seemed unfocused. On the other hand tasted quite crispy. Felt atypical for a riesling from Austria but nevertheless a good quaffer.
