My last. A particularly enjoyable bottle with an integrated diesel veneer while showing off its core crisp russet apple fruit to perfection. Some viscosity but with a dry finish. My bottles have been variable but always in the very good to excellent range. Drink up. Will seek out more.

Becoming rather variable with the years, the minerality in this bottle allowing a transitory return to the earlier excellent level. Otherwise much as my last note. Drink up and serve on the cooler side - and if this vintage is typical, in future a 3-5yr year window probably ideal.

Starting to really show its age and now only for those (like me) who like their riesling with a distinct dose of diesel! Fruit: dense cooked spiced apple and a dash of minerality. Serve well chilled to help with grip. Drink up.

Two bottles matching perfectly with our peppery watercress soup opener for Easter dinner. Is now à point with the apply fruit, green herb and viscosity held together by its mineral frame - dry but had lost a tad of its grip from previous 92pt note. Still excellent but have changed my mind from my December '14 note and needs drinking this year while at peak.

Drank at Plateau
Opened three bottles which all were tasting slightly different. Fresh rich mineral riesling with classic German notes.
