Carl Loewen Longuicher Maximin Herrenberg Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Auction

Light and delicate, but very poised. Melon and lychee flavours, but light aroma. Rounded mouthfeel, good persistence. May develop but lovely now - good acidity and very fresh. Slightly lacking in depth and complexity for a really high score - this is all about precision at this stage. But I guess this may develop with some cellar time. Super with vegetarian coconut curry.
