Opened at Veritas, Riesling with an excellent balance of ripeness and delicacy, lots of delicious barely off-dry fruit flavor with no hint of heaviness, everyone thought this was just right.
one of my last bottles from this vintage, golden colour indicating some matury, nose more young, chalky aromas, still very fresh and demanding, mineralic driven, light to moderate bodied, more deep than rich of fruit, ending very long, very delicious now but no reason to drink this one up, will be in this condition many more years, ***(*+), around 92+

This is in an excellent place, and I'm glad I opened it. Pop and pour. Beautiful nose with a hint of petrol, but loads of white peach, honeysuckle, and a slightly floral oil character. On the palate, just invigorating acidity, and fantastic minerality: slate and pith; texturally flits back and forth between oily and slightly thinner. Excellent finish.

From memory. Pale lemon. Medium citrus and apple nose, balanced, slightly rich riesling palate. Long finish with a touch of sweetness. Enjoyed with buffalo salmon.
