  Deep yellow color, subtle nose, oily palate, bitter aftertaste.

  Interesting. 7th from a case and it could be just bottle variation but these seem to be getting younger! First few bottles from the case, drunk a couple of years ago, were all very oxidative and deep orange. Subsequent bottles have been steadily getting fresher and this bottle followed the trend and was fresh with nice fruit and a touch of iso hexane complexity. Premox reversal?

  There is a definite whiff of oxidation but I still like this as it’s not too dominant and the fruit is suprisingly fresh (although ripe). I’m more forgiving of a bit of oxidation than most. Melon, lime, lychee and stone fruits along with a good dose of honey, iso hexane, smoke and rocks. Lowish acidity and quite rich for a Riesling but just about balanced. Decent finish with a touch of bitterness. 3.5

  Freshest bottle so far. Still orange but there’s grapefruit, exotic fruit, honey and some stones on the finish. Not great but pretty good. 3.5
