June 9, 2019 - Should have opened this one years ago. It is about 11 years beyond the end of the CT drinking window. The color is nearly bronze - an old, darkening gold. On the palate, there is an initial flash of fruit, that fades very quickly, then just becomes more acidic. There is still peach and mango. As I go through the glass, the fruit integrates, but also becomes less flashy. To state the obvious, drink up.

May 25, 2018 - Last bottle of a case purchase a decade ago. Still very graceful and shows well. Notes of petrol, peach, pineapple and Key Lime zest. A fading palate, nonexistent bouquet and a shortish finish tells me this is past prime. Drink up.

June 11, 2017 - Cellar stored since release more than a decade ago, this dark horse is still trotting along. Golden yellow with silken legs and nice texture. Secondary and tertiary elements clearly predominate. So this is more about petrol and dusty notes than the fruit-driven character of its youth. That said, it still offers gentle peach and apricot notes, if you're paying attention. Offers considerable refreshment. Not very many domestic Rieslings could hold up for this long, even in the best of storage. Time to drink up. (����= Worth Seeking Out)
