Tasting- Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling

Name: Heinz Eifel Shine Riesling
Region: Pfalz
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: 8.95
Shop: Vintage Cellar
Shop Review: Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on
the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors.
Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.
Review: It smelled like a semi-dirty fish tank. I have no idea where they are getting the flint from. Maybe a little like soil mixed with pear. There is also a slightly wooded smell once you get past the fish tank.
It tasted completely unlike how it smelled. It was fresh and light with lime citrus flavors and a tangy sweet finish.
