  April 7, 2024 - Honeysuckle flowers, fresh lime and a little seaspray on the nose. Salt and lime are both big on the nose, tastes like a prelude to tequila ;-) Bright acid but also with a pleasing body weight, I'm guessing from some lees stirring? Real minerality that lingers in the mouth.
  Years before what I'd normally consider the drinking window for Clare Riesling so I expected this was to be a sacrificial bottle for a family lunch but it's drinking beautifully even in its youth.

  January 26, 2024 - Rieslingfan visits Albany; 1/26/2024-1/27/2024 (Châteauneuf-du-Salil, Albany): Liking this style of dry Riesling more and more these days as I look for something a bit lighter/leaner than the heavier Smaragds/GGs. This is all lemon and flinty stoniness at first, with a zesty brightness to the aromatics and light herbal and smoky elements that become a bit more prominent with air. It's a wine that has plenty of presence on the palate, but feels very light and delicate (though never austere) with plenty of acidity beneath. Lovely wine.

  September 12, 2023 - I’m not sure about this bottle/tasting. Was restaurant by the glass, and being a Monday night, can’t be sure of how much oxygen this has seen. I start with that context because I found little enjoyment in this. The acidity and length were all there, but there was a massive dollop of exotic passionfruit on the palate. Curious to know if anyone else has seen it show this way?

  September 5, 2023 - During a walkabout tasting, so only brief impressions. Very dry and sinewey, for the Mosel GG purist.
