Tasting notes

Yellow colour. Mineral nose. Evolved Riesling-notes og petrol, stone, minerality. Fine depth. Acidic and medium bodied Riesling smaragd in the mouth. Pretty fruit, but seems mature now. A very mineral and citrusy approach. Underripe. Some petrol. Stone. Refreshing acids and a long citrusy finish. Very good wine. Very different from the more ripe ’98, which I found better.
