  100% Riesling
  
  Med rich golden straw color. Clear.
  
  Enticing bottle bouquet of petrol, 6 stroke engine, flint, elderflower, and green apple skin. The palate is still structured with fresh acidity, med to med plus body, and big fruit profile. White peach, grapefruit, pineapple, green apple. Minerally driven, honey infused but completely dry, unmistakenly Alsatian. Deep and long finish.
  
  I honestly don't see the haste in drinking this baby up. Could easily be kept for 5-10 more years yet without fruits seriously receding. At present though, it is a testament to how a grand Riesling can gracefully age. 91.

  Ce vin s'est bonifié depuis 4 ans et montre une robe plus jaune avec à peine d'oxydation qui selon moi ajoute à son charme. La bouche suit mais ne montre toujours pas le coté pétrolé des meilleurs Riesling. Tout de même excellent cette fois.

  4th Deals Gastronomy Fair (Intercontinental Hotel): Very rich nose, offering quite ripe fruit, petrol, honey, wax and caramel. The palate follows the same intensity, high acidity, wax, honey, tropical fruit, ripe stone fruit, clear, med body, very elegant, med finish. Outstanding quality, drinking now or later
