It reminds me a bit of Mosela in the nose, where you can get sweet tones, but the taste is given 2010 specifically difficult vintage very different. Although it has residual sugar and lower alcohol making it reminiscent of Mosela Riesling, it has very high acidity, which is makes it very interesting and this being testing bottle I would for sure try to get couple more to check the aging potential, which should be due to higher sugar and acidity very good.
