This was an impulse buy...so glad I did. It is quite lively for a 15 year old wine. Paired with chicken & cilantro potstickers and a quinoa salad. Citrus, enough sweetness that it should be consumed with somewhat spicy food. Extremely lengthy finish, honeyed apricot, orange peel, & floral notes. The cork looked like it was going to be bad (dark black on top 1/8 inch) but the full cork revealed that not to be the case and no off flavors. At least a few years remaining...drink now

Finishes on the sweet side, but the vibrant acidity and green apples mid palate is great. First time with an aged Riesling and I will be looking for more of it due to this wine. The nose was also intoxicating. Wish I had purchased more.

There is an insane amount of tart green apple in this wine. If this is not your thing then consider it a 85-point wine. I personally love it in a Riesling. Nose has pineapple and kiwi. Mid palate is full of tart green apples and a hint of grapefruit skin. Finishes slightly on the sweet side but very well balanced.

Petrol and lemon peel. Sweet with a hint of acidity. Medium finish. Nice value at $14.
