Tasting - Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling

Name: Peter Mertes Platinum Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Magnum
Country: Germany
Year: 2014
Price: $18

Shop Review: “Light-bodied slightly sweet white wine; medium pale slightly greenish yellow. Inviting fresh white peach aroma and flavors. Easy to drink and not complicated, but what's there is very pleasant, and flavors develop in the glass." ~ Winery notes

My Review: This virtually clear wine smells so sweet when it hits the nose that it reminds me of a bottle of extremely cheap moscato. The taste is so sugary that it's similar to the concentration of a fruit candy with an aftertaste that's almost like beer.
