Decided to check on the status of this wine, now 5 years old. Citrus fruit has faded, mineral and pear are much more prominent now. Nice food wine, as the acidity continues to shines here, but the finish is leaving a slight waxy texture that I'm not terribly fond of. I much prefer the composition of these rieslings when initially released.

More apple-y aromas, shows some petrol notes developing on the nose, getting a little waxy too, a la Brandborg 2004. at first it was more apples than not, and I was a little concerned for my taste, but its a more balanced approach now. Shows it’s 12.9% ABV confidently, the apple blunts the finish a bit.

Ideal picnic wine....temperature in the low 90's, pnp with standard picnic fare. Balance now a defining characteristic, lime is muted, petrol very much in background. Acidity lurking to keep all in order

(Long Shadows Wineries Riesling Poet's Leap) Very light yellow color; floral, tart pear, tart peach nose; tasty, tart pear, tart peach palate with sweetness but good balancing acidity; medium-plus finish
