  May 8, 2021 - Medium lemon in colour. Flint, and citrus and stone fruit. Lemon curd, orange peels, green apple, peach and passion fruit. After a while some herbal elements emerged. Mint, lemongrass, chervil, and tarragon.
  
  A touch of RS which coupled with the oak makes the wine feel quite rich initially, especially when colder, but as it warmed up a bit, the acidity started to become more prominent to bring everything in balance. There’s still a tight acid core that helps keep things in check.
  
  I’m not one to shy away from drinking my rieslings young, I quite like the vibrancy and tension that rieslings in their youth bring. But in this case with the oak, I think that richness demands some more time in bottle to integrate together.
