Tasting note for the 2010 Maximin Grünhaüser Riesling Qba Feinherb

Minerals and somebanana on the nose. Green apples and the minerality continues on the palate. I also find hints of banana as I did on the nose. The sweetness is balanced out with acidity, but I would actually prefer a little bit more acidity.The finnish starts off with minerality, but the apples take over. Quit long finnish for a wine at this level. 89 points

 This is a good wine given the price point. What strikes me the most is the length on the finnish. It is not super long, but given the price it is actually longer than expected.
