Advanced colour; initially taut, steely, this flourished with air & as it warmed, hayseed & wet slate, greengage, a floral undertow; dry to off-dry, toothsome, refreshing cut, latent power, a true expression of Riesling; concentration & drive on an extended finish. Can be enjoyed now, but no need to rush - this has plenty of time in hand.

Nice riesling, slight sweeter than the non JV bottling but still great for the price. There are already hints of petrol on the palate an nose, so it is definitely developing secondary characteristics.

In a nice place right now, blend of off-dry Riesling with a good dollop of acid to keep it in check. Secondary flavors of nut oil, petrol, green papaya and flint complement the citrus mix of flavors that are the primary profile of the wine.
