Tasting -Basserman Riesling

Name: Basserman Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Country: Germany
Year: 2009
Price: $30

Wine Review: Pale color, clover and honey nose. Zing of fruit on palate: mango and apricot, peach and lemon, orange. Slight birch-bark note. Balanced sugar and acid. So much flavor, but still delicate. Elegant. Yum.

My Review: This wine had a good balance of acidity and sweetness. It smelled a lot sweeter, like honeysuckles, so I was surprised by the acidity when I tasted it. There was a lot of citrus flavours, especially lemons.

I tasted this wine without food.
