Lucien Albrecht Riesling Reserve 2017 Review
If you like the petrol aroma that is inherent in Riesling, I mean really like it, this wine is for you. There are other aromas here, but they are sacrificed by the onslaught of petroleum. The residual sugar is the other element that strikes you with saccharine slaps. For a BYOB and a spicy menu this works as a last minute pick up.
