July 12, 2021 - Wow. One of the best rieslings I have ever tasted. Bought right after release at the winery. Aged to a soft and warm palate full of honeyed sweet lime and white cherries. Incredible tension between ripe aged texture and immense freshness and lifted acidity. Very long, saline finish. Superb!

April 13, 2015 - Herbal/ lemon grass nose with spice and a brazen stoniness, which carries into the palate. Palate is broad and lush on entry with concentrated acidity coming through in the middle. Finishes light and clean with good length. The quality of the juice is outstanding.
Excellent - Drink or Hold
