This Reisling was very unusual. I didn't neccesarily dislike it, but it had some "off" flavors for a Reisling. The nose was somewhat heavy, not light and crisp like usual. Flavors of Coca-Cola came through which was very odd, but it wasn't so terrible that I could not make it through the glass. It was caramel-y and maple-y in such a way as to not be off-putting, but in a way to cause you to do a double take, to make sure you're actually drinking a Reisling.
I give this unusual Reisling 3 out of 5 stars.
