  Beginning to enter into its drinking window, still has capacity and time to evolve and will be a very fine riesling in a few years from now.
  
  Very nice aromas of lime, citrus fruits and a hint of toast. Well weighted structure that is wrapped by soft freshness to put the wine into orbit. A long finish with hints of lemon spritz.
  
  Drink in 3 years and to 2030+.

  Xmas lunch and night, alongside a youthful, fine 2013.
  
  Gold/green tints. Entering the start of its mature period. Light toast, sizzled butter hints, limey but also poached fruits, enticingly fragrant still.
  
  Focused palate, with easy drive. Long, limey, tensile, acid folding into the body with a touch of spritz on the back palate. Tingling long finish. A keeper and will only improve with age.
  
  Which will win out in the long term - 12 or 13?

  Starting to show some aged characteristics but still fairly fresh with lime flavours still strong.

  Glowing green/yellow. Leaps out with notes of green apple, freshly squeezed lime and lemon pith. The label says "mandarin"- I will pay that. The palate enters with quite a lot of apparent sweetness, but good cleansing acidity. Lemon/lime juice, pith. Such lovely pristine sweet fruit. Label says 15yrs, who am I to argue?
