  March 9, 2016 - Deep gold. Nicely dry at this point with impressive richness and inensity, with notes of Lemonhead candy, honey, grilled meyer lemon and chamomile. An immortal pleasure.

  November 17, 2012 - Pale gold, nose of green apple, peach pit, slightly citric. Medium-bodied with a lot of verve--no flabbiness despite plenty of layered fruit on the palate, great bakance. Stone fruit and again hints of citrus on the long finish. Delishious bottle drinkign at what seemed to be its peak.

  September 6, 2012 - 90+ 1, 2, whatever. Excellent bottle. Great balance. In contrast to jonradus, it did taste like an aged Riesling to me -- no petrol (which is fine with me -- not my fav), but there is a certain richness and depth that Riesling acquires over time, and this wine certainly had that. Moreover, my bottle held up well through the bottle, and it was consumed along with some other quite decent wines.

  December 24, 2011 - Light golden yellow color. Apples, pears, petrol, honey, citrus zest, minerality, and a bit of peach on the nose. Light body with very nice acidity and nice richness. Sweet and crisp on the palate with the mouthwatering citrus leaning more towards lime. Lingering finish that leaves you wanting another mouthful. Still seems very young and vibrant.
