Medium deep orange/yellow. Gorgeous nose of apricots and a hint of fusel oil. Lovely on the palate and not at all sweet as seen previously. Drinking beautifully at age 22 - wish I had a few more bottles.

Light Amber in color, muted/subtle nose. The acid and sufficient residual sugar was a fantastic contrast to our picante dinner of spicy barbecued shrimp. Blew away the 2017 Chardonnay that we drank next to it

Shows slight sligt oxidation, but otherwise totally stunning. Structured like a red wine, with loads of concentration, acidity, and backbone. Really gorgeous juice and a joy to drink.

Tasted blind. This had a very dark yellow, almost orange color. On the nose it had Riesling character with notes of pear, nuts, with a slightly dusty note and a bit of sherry. Still good acidity on the palate with oranges, citrus, and a bit more of the sherry note. Quite good finish. Interesting wine, probably a representative bottle, so I wouldn't age this any longer. ~91

Enjoyed at Blackberry Farm along with a 1999 Chave Hermitage. BF has a rocking aged Riesling program. This had lovely complexity and maturity. Plenty of apricot but without the sweetness.
