{screwcap, 13%} Rather more lemony than I observed last time. Also a bit simpler, and with more reticent acid. Not especially developed; sound but simple and straightforward citric-type riesling, dry but a bit phenolic, may burnish with time but I doubt much extra dimension will manifest. Drink now to three years.

{screwcap, 13%} Pale straw still. Lifted, faintly developed nose of gentle lime with a touch of talc and slate. Maybe a hint of musk? The palate is medium-bodied at least, with citrus and grapefruit flavours, medium acid, and a medium length finish. A bit simple, but honest and straightforward. Will easily age and improve for another 5 years under screwcap. The first of the 2012s I bought that I've tasted really; seems to have a good future,
