Still good but lost the freshness of youth and has of yet not gained the complexity of age. A bit flat and one dimensional. Still quite good but not what it once was and I doubt it will ever be. Last bottle and that’s fine by me.

A few of the recent bottles of this wine have shown less well than expected, considering how delicious this was in its youth. Now, almost a year since last bottle, at least this particular bottle is again really quite nice. It is beginning to show some maturity but still retains a lot of its youthfull charm, delivering the best of both worlds. For sure, it does not have the complexity and depth of a good GG riesling but is a fine example of how well even simpler german riesling can deliver on a level one might not expect for its reputation and pricepoint. That said, I still feel that this was probably best drunk young, at least if one wanted to maximise the sheer pleasure.

Maturing. Better than last bottle. Comes across as a bit sweeter than earlier. The youthfull energy has faded a bit, but still quite nice. Was better a couple of years ago but I have a pair of bottles left from the case an I think I'll try to cellar them for a few more years and see what emerges.
