  I have had 4 of these now (1 flawed and 3 proper). Not a big fan personally. Had a thin flavor profile, perhaps the acidic side is too powerful. Fruit is sparse and even oak seems too light. Couldn’t find any aspect I was interested in, my last bottle will be used for cooking I suspect.

  Something not right on this bottle. Had a diesel undertone, but more powerful than some rieslings. Odd, and not similar to other bottles of the same wine.

  Weak, with vague flavors of dilute red fruit. Watery texture. Drinkable, but that’s about all.

  This bottle was randomly purchased at Costco based on what I remember as a Suckling review. When I got home I read the CT reviews and groaned. I thought it was better than the reviews but that was after a double aeration. It was also better on night two. I am thinking it will improve with a few more years in the cellar.

  Medium plus nose shows mocha, espresso, violets, pencil lead, blackberry. Palate matches with big structure, tannins a little aggressive like last taste, I would give this some time.
