This wine looks and tastes like a dry Sauternes. Its aromas include saffron, dry honey, papaya, sour grapefruit, and petrol. The finish is unusually intense, with bracing acidity, minerality, and bitterness. There may be some residual sugar here, but the overall impression is bone dry and menacingly austere.
While this wine is aromatically fascinating and has big weight on the palate, it doesn’t taste good at this point in its life.

Bright gold colour. Very interesting nose. Classic Riesling notes combined with some more exotic notes. Quite dry. Delicious texture. Dense and mature yet great freshness. Beautiful wine.

Lovely wine. Beautiful rich golden colour- like a good Sauternes. Lovely floral noise and great length. Will still drink well for a few years.

Very impressive wine, lovely balance and acidity. Will continue to improve but drinking well now
