Karl Kaspar Kabinett Riesling '15 7.5%

German, Mosel
Riesling
$12ish

Poundability: 3/5
Value: 4/5
Overall: 3/5

Pale yellow color with a slight petrol and lime/citrus nose.  Light in body and sweetness.

Got flavors of honey suckle, pear and peach.  Some lime as well but not in that New Zealand sauv. blanc style, much softer and restrained.  Very fruit forward with some hints of tropical fruit - melons and mango's.  Hints of minerality at the back end.

Slightly to sweet for my taste - but not cloying at all.  Strong acidity with a short and mildly complex finish.  All in all would repeat!

Picture pending.
