My Review:
The smell of this wine immediately let me know it was a Riesling without any doubt in my mind. It had the usual floral, tropical fruit aromas along with just a hint of a petrol smell. The flavor profile was a bit different than most sweet Rieslings I have tried. Although there was definitely sweet tropical fruit, there was more of a mineral, floral aspect that diminished the sweetness of the wine. It had a little more acidity than other Rieslings and was fairly dry. I did not try this wine with food.
