  Deep gold yellow colour. Tasted from Magnum bottle. Complex wine. Honey, citrus, minerals and a little petroleum. Dry and long. Really nice riesling!

  Sunday hangout (Chicago, IL): Kind of drinks like a GG, but it's also a little too sweet for that, and it's stuck in a bit of a no-man's land. There's definitely some good material here, but somehow it just doesn't quite work for my palate. Shows some maturity too, as the fruit doesn't come off as sweet and fresh on the palate, and the acidity has a bit of a burnished quality to it.

  From magnum. Deep golden, clearly aged. Intense nose dominated by petroleum and slate over a ripe tone of lime zest and pickled fruit, almost like dried mango. Medium bodied attack, high acidity, ripe tropical fruit on the mid palate, lots of dry extract in the finish. Surprisingly short aftertaste given the high fruit concentration on the midpalate. Almost tannic-like and dry finish. A good wine that should have been drunk 5 years ago or before that. Fascinating more than really good. I remember this as a much better wine.

  Perfectly matured. Heavy petroleum notes, lots of yellow fruit and honey and an insane acidity

  Ten years old, and still bristling with acidity. Deep yellow colour. Intense aromas of ripe, yellow fruits like peach, with a strong petroleum tone. Full bodied, incredible backbone of acidity that lifts the taste of yellow fruit into an extremely long aftertaste. This is a serious Riesling at the top of it's life curve, but still with many years ahead. 2007 shows its class.
