October 8, 2022 - File under "Things that would have been drunk a decade ago if kids hadn't arrived." Under screw cap and well cellared. Very much alive - honey, limes, not a sniff of any petrol. Still a slight spritz. Last bottle though.

June 4, 2021 - A curiosity I found on WineBid. My mother-in-law loves this wine so I thought it would be fun to find out what it tastes like when it gets a few years of bottle age. Surprisingly similar to the current vintage flavor-wise, the palate is a bit smoother and rounder. Nose has some sesame and beechwood with peaches and ripe apricots and the palate was slightly more honeyed than the current vintage but overall this has held up surprisingly well. Well-stored, it feels like this could last quite a while. Very cool : )

June 19, 2018 - At 10 years on the screw cap protection was doing its thing and this wine looked like it was 3-5 years old. Clean, well made, soft, fruity but not cloying or bothersome in any way. Hints of petroleum on the nose, decent acidity (but on the softer side of even that), a little minerality, florals and lemony finish. Good value and for those 533 bottles still in the cellar -- what are you waiting for??

January 29, 2017 - Off dry mineral Riesling that has pronounced lime-lemon notes with perhaps a bit of floral tones. Like a lemon pie. Nothing too complex but a good value. Goes well with Thai food.
