  What a way to end our evening. An extraordinary mélange of fruit: white cherry, crisp apple, lime, melon, pineapple, apricot and orange, for starters. River rock notes more than slate. Some salinity too, and a creamy texture, with good cut. I lost count trying to measure the length of the finish. Brilliant stuff, and should last for another decade+ with ease.

  First bottle out of a case.
  Bright and intense aromatics with beautiful purity; all with 7.5 % alcohol.
  You only get this in a Riesling.
  Luscious texture, coating mouthfeel and very good length.
  The only thing missing, to my taste, is a little acidity to improve the focus and tension in the wine.
  I don't expect it to improve from here but it should last without any problems at all.
  I will drink the rest overthe next 10 years.

  A tough cork, which eventually crumbled, but fortunately the wine was none the worse for wear. At first a touch muted and lacking in intensity, with air this became one of the best whites I can ever recall enjoying. More yellow than orange in color. The mélange of fruit notes could go on and on: white cherry, crisp apple, lime, melon, pineapple, apricot and orange, for starters. River rock notes more than slate (perhaps that comes with more bottle age). Some salinity too, and I thought I detected a touch of rye. A somewhat creamy texture, with good cut. I lost count of the length of the finish after two full minutes. A 'wow' wine for sure.

  Profound wine.
  Peach, apricot, ripe citrus, orange, grapefruit, wet rock, honey, pineapple, ripe melon, creamy.
  Palate, medium+ sweetness, good acid, like nose, honey, peach, apricot, ripe apple, petrol, kerosene. Not as fresh as 15. Orange marmalade, rye bread.

  Definitely on the sweet side, but with enough acidity to remain fresh. This is in a good spot right now and was quite enjoyable.
