Reichsrat von Buhl Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker Riesling

Opened one hour in advance. Glass stopper. Pleasant aroma of flowers and apricots. White fruit flavors with a mild petrol component. Meaty, lichee driven finish. Attractive flavors, balanced, depth some complexity, would like to see more backbone. Not a "wow" wine, but plenty there to hold your interest.

2009 Basic German Riesling Tasting : it was the tartest, the most curt, and the shortest wine, but he liked the bitterness and acidity and suggested that this wine speaks more to the German palate. He said that it felt as though it has more ambition than some of the other wines, and that he wanted to check back in 5 years. I also liked this wine, particularly the mineral character, but I was put off by what I thought …

Young, full of flavour and good acidity.

lots of acidity/ v. aromatic, some carroway seed, grapefruit
