February 15, 2023 - Stunning showing for the last bottle of this characterful wine. Gorgeous, opulent and ripe notes combine with honied botrytis. Supple, medium-dry, and totally involving. Drinking at a peak of maturity, but this is going to develop for quite some time. Beautiful, and an excellent food March.

September 9, 2019 - Quite evolved. Rich, honied, ripe and stewed apricot. Huge power and presence, while the acids are excellent, the overall impression is verging on a little thick. Residual (barley) sugar. Boytytis character. I like this for its power, and character, but I don’t see this improving, although it will clearly endure.

August 5, 2019 - An unusual Riesling that feels a little out of whack - it’s sweet on the front palate but bitter on the back, with stone and tropical fruits, cream, petrol. It just lacks the required acidity to offset the sweetness and comes across a bit fruit juicey and flabby.

October 26, 2017 - Quite tart, with tons of flavor. Not subtle, but certainly tasty and easy drinking. Worked quite nicely with a spicy shawerma. Good QPR.
