Itchy Twitchy Feeling

I don't give up easily...if at first you don't
succeed......try another bottle!..no..that's not right.
If at first you don't suceed..work on it..try it again later...maybe tomorrow..maybe next week...no...that's no good either...instead of being a 'Wino'..I'd become a 'Vinegaro'. Where am I going with this?....well....in the case of the wine below...nowhere at the moment.

Rheingau, Germany

Small 'pearly' bubbles in a glass of medium yellow...the recent young Rieslings have shown this at times...no need to get twitchy!....first sip....light 'Prosecco'...oops...first twitch. Left it till next day...a little more body...an OK aperitif at the moment. If you want flowers...you only get stalks at the moment....a bunch of Roses in a year or two?.....at € 19.....I need more convincing. It needs fattening up....one of those Riesling that I find difficult to appraise when in it's youth. The name and vineyard suggest it MUST get better than this...
Points 14.5
