Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service, bottle open 20.00 tasted 21.15 -/- The wine shows deep golden color. The wine shows high intensity in the nose, overripe citrus, stone fruit, grapefruit, quince, some heavier floral notes, layered, lemon concentrate. Palate smooth, bitter freshness, medium acidity, mineral orange pith, peach and apricot jam, medium body, balancing acidity, persistent finish. Decadent and beautiful

Shazam! Paired this with a quail/foie gras dish. In a great place now. Much of the sugar is resolved but there is still a depth of honey and soft acidity. Nose of orange blossom, lemon curd, and warm brioche. Very complex without any oxidative notes despite the clear medium golden color. Palate had good depth and a long finish. Well matched and quite good. Glad I have more.

Gorgeous bright multi-hued orange colour - dive in! The wine was more like a Sauternes than I'd expected from a Riesling, with saffron, lime, stem ginger, Stollen and marmalade, and just a touch of the exotic. Quite creamy and opulent, and a lingering biscuity finish. This was too sweet to drink on its own but wouldn't have been sweet enough as a dessert wine... hmmm.

Firmly in its preferred window, this offers enough vitality that suggests, to my palate, this is in a fine place now and offers limited upside. I mention this because I find the acidity to be good+, but not great, i.e. enough for the long term. Drink now even if it's got the goods for several more quality years. recommended
