Riesling better in the glass or in the bottle?
Yes, I am not averse to enjoying wine! However, they don't have to be expensive drops for me; the usual supermarket wines in the price range of €5-10 are generally perfectly sufficient - on special occasions, something more exquisite is allowed. Among the white grape varieties, Riesling is my favorite after Gewürztraminer, followed by Sauvignon blanc, Grüner Veltliner, and Chardonnay. Aroma and scent are also important to me when it comes to wine! Silvaner is often a bit too bland for me. With Riesling, I appreciate the typical bouquet of yellow fruits. Here, an exception can be made for a glass of Spätlese, as the grape variety's typical acidity counteracts the sweetness.
Can a perfume really meet the high expectations that a scent reminiscent of Riesling evokes? I am indeed a fan of the modern Cologne series from 4711.
Unfortunately, this EDC does not meet my expectations. At first, I am strongly reminded of the classic 4711 EDC; however, "Royal Riesling" is somewhat more bitter, as the typical neroli note is, of course, missing. Soon, the bitterness increases further and comes across as quite woody, while I miss fruity notes. Overall, I perceive the scent as rather masculine.
I would never think I was dealing with an aroma reminiscent of white wine if I didn't know the name. Viewed in isolation, RR is not a bad EDC, quite refreshing given the current high temperatures. But it disappoints my expectations. Therefore, I can only give it a 7.0, although I will still enjoy using it - simply as a refreshment in the heat.
So, Riesling is indeed better in the wine glass!
