Developed nose of grapefruit and wet stones (rain on asphalt). Very nice earthy aromas! Off-dry, med acid. Relatively short length. Fruit is fading. Drink now.

A nice Riesling which shows that even inexpensive Rieslings don't need to be drunk within a year or two after they have been released. Admittedly, the fruit is slowly fading and the acidity is not vibrant anymore, but this is still quite a wine for this price.

In short: 
Good
