Stone fruit reserves, minerality, and shortbread/pastry (sweater than an autolitic note). Time has really transformed this into something beautiful.
Medium minus acid with a citrus-dominated finish.
This is in a really great place now. Could probably go another ~5 years, but why wait? Currently exhibitng mature notes, while clinging onto structure.

Has aged well. Fruit and petrol big time on the nose and palate. Good acidity, and considerably more residual sugar than I remember. Intense and complex. I prefer a drier style in dry Riesling, but very good for what it is..

Potent nose of petrol, yellow fruit and a touch of lime. Palate is astringent with deep flavors of apricot, pineapple, and meaty papaya with slate minerality and a long, pithy finish. Intense and complex - probably the best bottle of Finger Lakes riesling I've had. Time has been very kind to this vintage.

Served blind
Strong petrol Riesling aromas,
almost to the point of being medicinal.
And bone dry which makes this a bit astringent on opening.
But with 2 days air this has opened up well and drinks rather nicely.
