So, today I am drinking the second bottle. At first I wasn't so impressed (I had this memory of an extraordinary wine, after all), but after giving the Riesling time to breathe it really took off. Delicious orange and lemon peel that I had not noticed the first time came up. And then, most importantly, a salty finish, almost like bacon, with mouth-drying mineral. This is a really intense sensation on my tongue right now, into which caramelised citrus fruit adds the right level of sweet, bitter and juice. Good to see again that the Mosel can also do dry Riesling well.
