Medium yellow. Some stone fruit on the nose. Medium weight, some glycerine. Just off dry stone fruit and a twist of the tropical with very good acidity and an excellent infusion of soil at the end. Better structured than last time but still only moderate intensity and drive. No secondary development yet.

This wine has its fans, but in my opinion, it shows that there is German Riesling, and then all the rest... this was heavy and a touch cloying, acceptable but lacking that racy acidity one finds in the best Rieslings.

Superlative Riesling. Great delineation and complexity. Each taste was an impressive variety of flavors. Eleven bottles to go, which gives me warm fuzzies for future bottles. Should be improving for decades.

Medium yellow. Flowers and orchard fruit. Middle weight, off dry. Pleasant apple fruit that reminded me more of Pinot Blanc than Riesling. A little loose and lacking in focus and intensity.

Lemon gold colour. Soft white flowers, pears, white peach, manuka honey. Very even weight, lightly creamy, excellent length, harmonious finish. Lemon curd, honey, great minerality, and a lovely precision. Still young and at least five ahead. The silky style makes it very drinkable now.
