After reading the previous notes, I popped this figuring it wouldn't be any good or past it's prime. Not the case at all! It still had a few years to go. Stone fruit with a hint of grass. Still some nice fruit, great acidity, and really nice minerality, with a longish finish. I thought it was great.

Picked this up at a shop in Cape Town since my wife had never had a Riesling before. I probably shouldn't have set such a high bar because this wine was stunning. We drank it over 3 nights and it never dropped off a bit. Wonderful nose of petrol, guava, flowers, and stone fruit. Perfectly balanced between the bit of sweetness and the vibrant acidity. It had a nice, long finish to it and it even felt like it picked up a bit of tannic grip on the 2nd and 3rd nights. This was amazing but has a very long life ahead of it.
