Tasting notes

Fine fill, into the neck and a good cork. Yellow colour. Pretty nose, quite typical. Leafy, mineral hints. Evolved. Lightly tropical notes and some citrus. Medium bodied and dry Silvaner in the mouth. The fruit is there, but a little thin. Interesting though with a fine minerality. Leafy hints of quite citrusy with a light touch of tropical fruits. The finish is hard and acidic. Quite uncharming and full of green hard acids. Medium length. A wine best enjoyed for it's nose and interesting fruit. Drink now as this seems to be fading. Good.
