Light straw yellow, it has mineral driven aromas with citrus and honeyed fruits. Clean and off-dry palate, showing lively acidity to lift the weight. Drinking very well after 12 years, fresh and lively, finishes dry and long. It was indeed a pleasant surprise for me.

Absolutely delicious. Very floral and aromatic; white flowers and stone fruit. Palate is just a touch of residual sugar and lovely roundness from the lees.

Popped and poured. Fresh apple/pear aroma. Slightly sweet flavors of apricot pit, minerals. Chalky apricot nectar finish.
Lovely, balanced, great depth, some complexity. Although it has a very different taste profile, in mouth feel, sweetness, and overall zeitgeist it's very reminiscent of a superior German Kabinett Riesling.
Drinking very well right now, but there may be even better to come.

White melon, pear and soft tropical fruit flavors. Very soft on the palate, but retaining vibrant acidity. Long dry finish. Will pair well with a variety of lighter dishes.

This is nice. Gentle and a bit sweeter than I like and with less acidity (no surprise with this vintage), this is nevertheless an excellent wine. Rainwater fresh and expansive on the palate, nice complexity, etc. - it's totally Cazin Renaissance, in the riper mold. I prefer the 2008.

PnP - Nose was not as aromatic as I would like but I did get some granny smith apples. On the palate, medium bodied with a nice blend of acidity, RS, and bright fruits.

Aromas of green apple, pine tree, and some green cooking herbs. Medium body. Very bright and lively tropical fruit flavors with a little mint thrown in. I really like the tiny bit of residual on the crisp and acidic finish.

Very pleasant, though with a lot less acidity than the 2002. Works just as well without food given the lack of cut.
