Beautiful, medium golden color. Very earthy nose, wet clay and grapefruit. Light aromas of smoke and burnt matches. Dry on the palate, medium(+) acidity, medium(+) alcohol, medium body. Which means that it's a fairly powerful yet balanced wine. The palate is ostensibly bitter. Which sounds bad but it isn't. The Von den Terassen is a very elegant Riesling, with a pronounced intensity of minerality, grapefruit and quince. Medium length. Drink now or keep until 2015.
In short:
Very good
