taste: very good medium body with medium acidity. The mid-palate is somewhat thin with tones of pears, petrol and white peaches.
overall: This is in it's right place right now. It isn't likely to improve much more. A very good riesling that does show off the vintage, but isn't over-ripe at all.

Xmas Eve Dinner: PNP this bottle. I think it need a little more air time to open up. Nice petrol, diesel nose. On the palate lots of petrol with lemon spritz and minerals.
I checked back in on this wine after a couple hours of air this started to really come around. More tropical fruits came through.
SS 91pts

Some Friday Afternoon Wines (Phil's place, Chicago IL): nose: nice and upfront tones of pears, petrol, white fruits, and white peaches. This is lacking some depth to it, most likely due to the vintage.

pretty impressive. lighter, floral nose. m+ mouth. good acid. improved with air time, so i would guess has yet to see its peak.
