Review from online: "Bizarre plasticky??? Lemon, grapefruit, peach, floral, lovely on the nose but weird taste. Definitely stone. Honeysuckle, petrichor." -Scarlett Sutton (https://www.vivino.com/US/en/bee-you-riesling/w/9546618?srsltid=AfmBOopAa-vixVNycpwh-Bf9zbQZCZyR_URTK_n-P_DmkNVoeru8r4Nk)

Wine Folly Notes: "Tasting Riesling starts with intense aromas that rise from the glass (even when the wine is ice cold). This aromatic wine offers primary fruit aromas of orchard fruits like nectarine, apricot, honey-crisp apple, and pear. Besides fruit, you’ll often smell things like honeycomb, jasmine, or lime peel, along with a striking aroma that smells similar to petrol or petroleum wax (a natural compound called TDN). On the palate, Riesling has high acidity, similar to the levels in lemonade." (https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/the-tasters-guide-to-riesling-wine/)


My review: Acidic at first, but slightly sweet overall. Honey comes out more in the aftertaste. Heavier mouthfeel than expected. The more I drink, the smoother and sweeter it tastes. 7/10
