Mid straw gold. Archetypal Mosel riesling nose: apple, slatey minerality, touch of lime, some petrol starting to come through, and a touch of honey. Zingy fresh palate. Has everything you'd expect and want.

Deep, fairly mature colour. Feeling a bit past it on the nose: quite mushroomy with some high toned furniture polish notes. Pretty much fully mature on the palate. Full, with good, meaty, black fruit richness, though becoming more bloody and meaty over the fruit. Still fairly significant tannins. Sadly, it's lost much of the complexity and depth it had 3½ years ago. Bit of an old lady: still charming, but needs treating with respect.

Very pale straw. Notably perfumed nose with citrus, papaya and a chalky minerality. Quite rich on the palate - certainly more rich than many English bacchus wines, with quite ripe, almost tropical fruit. Feels fairly low acidity until the finish, when there's evident acidity, if feeling rather muted. Not at all unpleasant, but a little curious, and a little industrial feeling compared to most other bacchus wines I've tried.
