  Deep yellow, golden colour, with a wide rainy, translucent rim and some legs.
  
  On the nose, it is quite floral, minerally, and zesty. Citrus notes of lemons, orange peels, white peaches, and hints of pineapples are mixed with white flowers, minerals, and wet stones.
  
  On the palate, the acidity comes through immediately along with a slight savory note. The citrus notes of lemons, grapefruits, and white flowers are quite prominent, with a slight bitterness towards the finish. Texture is quite thick and dense, and it coats the mouth entirely. Finish is quite long with the citrus and slight bitterness lingering around.
  
  This is quite a delicious and enjoyable riesling. However, I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of this bitterness towards the finish.

  Match 2023 chez Etienne: Très belle présence au nez, avec un beau mélange de notes florales et pétrolées. Quelques notes légèrement exotiques également (mangue et ananas). Pierre se demande si il y a un passage en foudre?
  En bouche encore une acidité bien marquée, avec un léger creux en bouche mais une très belle longueur!

  Plenty of wet slate with citrus accents. Earlier flower notes have faded. Palate is more of the same on a rich oily palate and hints of petrol. Very much a Pfalz full-bodied Riesling. Robust long finish. Happy to have 4 more bottles to enjoy

  Very good. Electric acidity. Lemon / citron with savory notes on the back end. Also quite rich with good density. Great grind ability. Will be good in summer with friends. This was recommended to me and I am glad I agreed to buy 6 bottles.

  Spicy nose,
  Bone dry, lemon and limes, very intense and concentrated, lots of acidity but has an underlying richness and ripeness that bodes well for the future.
  Keep
