  June 1, 2018 - Wine-pages Glasgow Festival of Wine Pre Offline (Cail Bruich, Glasgow): A very loose cork that pretty much fell in on its own when the capsule was removed.
  Gorgeous nose: white peach, lime, lemon. Considering it's nearly 30 years old, the absence of any evident petrol notes on the nose is striking.
  Super palate. This has held up perfectly. Really impressive mature, but not at all old, Alsace riesling. Really terrific and hugely enjoyable.

  Really quite a pale colour, but with a more yellow tinge. Quite a fragrant nose, developing clear petrolly tones. Very interesting palate with marked older, riesling notes. Really quite full with much richer fruit flavours than the Germans. Nicely rounded. Finishes well with marked length. Quite distinguished. Slightly smoky. Very Good Indeed+

  A very, very pale straw. Very full nose - deep and rich, distinctly riesling, though not over-keroseney. Quite fresh on the attack. Very full on the palate, rich and almost creamy. Nice length with hints of acidity. Very well rounded and balanced - balanced to the extent that it could be described as a bit one-dimensional. Very Good/Very Good Indeed.
