Intensity medium (+). Elderflower, honeysuckle, lemon peel, lime, ripe grapefruit, peach, chalkiness, minerals. Acidity high. Finish long. Decanted, the consecutive glasses kept evolving. No doubt even prettier after a couple years more in the bottle.

Dinner at Coulisse (Amsterdam, NL): [Restaurant purchase] No detailed notes. Unexpectedly open and enjoyable given its age. Medium intensity on the nose, hint of petrol, just ripe tropical fruit, white peach, minerality. High acidity, very long finish. 93-94+

Shiny pale yellow-gold. Lime, green apple, unripe pineapple, passion fruit, exotic tropical fruits, hint of kerosene, and minerality. Searing acidity. Refreshing, elegant and layered. High tension on the palate like putting on after shave after a shave.
We saved 2/3 of a bottle for tasting next day. The energy and tension had dissipated slightly in exchange of more graceful, relaxed blossomed flowers dashed with honey. I would prefer to drink it the first day when the wine was more in an excited phase.

This was very open (even the somm was surprised, having experienced a totally closed bottle a few weeks ago). The essence of Riesling; chalky minerality, high acidity, a very clean and elegant wine, lime, green apple, white blossom. Excellent, and with upside.

PnP, seems like in the muted phase with less of the chalky mineral characters than expected, quite ripe, very good still. 92+
