{screwcap, 13%, A$38} Mid yellow. Nicely developed nose of honey, custard-apple, and lemon curd. Quite intense and forward. Medium/full on the palate, with rich flavours per the nose, dry, but with a distinct richness of fruit which says there's a little RS here, but plenty of extract and enough acid to keep it together. It's still rich enough to suggest that it's close to its peak now. The screwcap has helped no doubt. Very good. Price seems to have jumped 20% of the last two vintages for some reason (locally imported by Dan Murphys chain).

I'm not too familiar with these kinds of Alsatian Rieslings, but this one did it for me. Very nice! Lots of citrus and some mineral, almost dusty. Nice balance and quite likeable!

Rik, stor, direkt och ändå komplex doft av gummi, petroleum och örter. Efter någon timme lugnar det ner sig och citron och mineraler smyger fram. I munnen medelfylligt plus, med rik frukt (citron och gula plommon) som ändå har nyanser. En riktigt bra, lång avslutning med mineraler!
Till ugnsstekt lax med basilikasås, sparris och kokt potatis.

Citrus, flinty, good acid, but a little too much funk for my liking. Not sure, something holding back its finesse. Overall OK, but much better value elsewhere from this region.

Tried at an exhibition. Not rated but it was very good. Fine balance for ones...
