As per my May 2014 note, this is an absolutely stunning, aged dry Riesling: complex, rich, flavorful, and balanced. Plenty of acidity to support a few more years of cellaring. Long finish.

Intense, citric, and incisive. Nevertheless, not quite the breadth or complexity that I would have expected -- perhaps a bit of a closed phase? Cellared since release.

Whoa...this is outstanding! Deep golden hue displaying the characteristic petrol and rubber nose with undertones of white flowers and salty minerals. Big, rich, lively, and intensely tasty flavors of yellow peaches, juicy apricots, spicy mangos, honeysuckle, and salty minerals just dance in the mouth. Complex and layered. Perfectly balanced acidity. Culminates in a long, long, very long finish. Significant amounts of tartrates at the bottom of the bottle; if this bothers you, just pour the last glass of wine through a wine strainer.
I can't think of a better dry Riesling that I've had over the last few years. My biggest regret Is I have only two bottles.

Wow-tropical but bitter too. Nervy acidity, amazing dry extract and power for a white. 30 second finish. Just a youngster. Nice spice, floral, botrytis, oxidation thing going on

Tropical with hints of rubber/petrol on the nose. Tropical, apricots mangos brilliant clensing acidity on the palate. Just fantastic
