Interesting comparison to the previous WR, They are both from the same vintage and winery, but different village and vineyard. This one is more crispy, less mineral and more drinkable, it is pure fresh fruity Welsh Riesling.
Update: after 40 minutes of drinking this wine it opened significantly the nose was originally very closed and now is expressive of white flowers with lime fresh acidity and excellent crunchy crispy acidity. It is so nicely drinkable that it disappeared in 45minutes after opening:)
