This wine was a bit disappointment for me. It has six medals on it. Although I usually take the medals very sceptically in this case i was interested whether it is really so good. It costs quite a lot for what the wine tastes like. In the nose it is not as aromatic I would expect for Muller Thurgau to be. In the taste it is rather straightforward with hint of apple followed by lively acidity, however it misses the body and it is rather flat.
