Amazing value Riesling, despite being sealed with plastic cork it shows perfect bottle maturity and still crunchy acidity. I remember buying this wine in 2009 when it won blind tasting of German Rieslings in one of the wine magazines. It scored 88 points at that time, which I would not confirm now after 4 years of cellaring.
