Unscrewed and poured. Restrained pear aroma with a bit of rubber. Mild flavors of peach and petrol which gain strength and character going into the finish. Soft, but not flabby, backbone, linear. Solid, and an excellent value.

The nose is spot on Riesling – petrol, a bit of rubber, tart citrus, pineapple, and a bit of grapefruit. Medium-heavy bodied, a bit lighter on the acidity than I was hoping for from the nose, but not too sweet. Medium-sweet pineapples, grapefruits, and pears. Finish is on the short side, sweet fruits, a bit of citrus pith, and limestone.
I like the sweetness level on this – this hits the medium sweet level perfectly. But I wished it had a bit more acid.

Very pale, some light bubbles on the rim. Nose is quite distincitve - rubber, axel grease and gasoline. Has to be some volatile sulphur compound going on, but not pleasant on PnP. Palate doesn't give off any of the same, pretty clean fruit profile with green apple and white pear. Quite tart and acidic.
Came back to it 3 days later and that nose had calmed down. Palate showing pretty much the same, more pronounced grapefuit and maybe slightly more advanced fruit profile given being 3 days old and having gotten some air. Still hung together on night 4 and even on night 5. So just needs air right now to get that stuff on the nose to blow off.

Ordered off a restaurant wine list. A really tasty off-dry Riesling. Great value.
