2008 Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Kronsberg Silvaner trocken - Germany, Franken (11/23/2009)
Very pale, almost watery color. The nose showed zesty citrus notes and a green/herbal character that reminded me a little bit of young Chablis. On the palate this is quite light in body but packs a lot of flavor. I would guess that there is just a hint of residual sugar left to provide a counterweight to the truly zingy acidity that follows and really grips the palate. The finish is there, but noting special. In sum, a very refreshing bottle for those looking for a crisp white. On the second day the palate becomes dilute and lacks interest. I’m sure this will last a number of years, but it’s a wine to drink now.
