  December 29, 2022 - Under screwcap but tasting older than expected. Fully mature ripe yellow fruits, medium. But it has slight oxidative notes suggesting it is quite a lot older than it is. Still drinkable but advanced maturity. I have 5 more so need to try another to check if this is typical or has something to do with the seal on this bottle.

  December 24, 2021 - Nose of subtle petrol, slate and sparkling water. Apple, lemon and peach fruit. Never too sweet, but the palate and long finish alternate between acid and sweet. Complex stuff.

  January 27, 2021 - petrol, pear, apple, honey, white flowers, slate, lime, and peach.
  
  Rich sweetness on the palate, good acid, nice depth.
  
  For someone who drinks a lot of napa cabs, this is always a refreshing treat

  February 14, 2018 - I love German Riesling of all sorts but don't drink much of it. After drinking this, I really must rectify this situation. 8% ABV.
  
  Classic Mosel. Subtle nose of petrol and ripe pears; lovely crystalline pear on entry which carries through to a very pure slate character on the midpalate, sufficient apple acidity counterbalances the sweetness, good length. A joy with light Chinese food, vegetables.
  
  Note: this bottle has been sitting in a refrigerator for many years, and was under screwcap, so it is likely to have evolved a lot less than most other bottles.
