August 12, 2022 - Deep golden color; bordering on light amber. On the nose kerosene and fyrne which becomes more evanescent with exposure to air.
On the palate slightly bitter and more fyrn. After a while those impressions subside. The wine, never more than middle weight is svelte and has good balance.
Has surpassed its apogee quite a few years ago but has kept surprisingly well in view of the not overly great year.
Mt wife liked it more than I did. tis was my last bottle of 6 originally bought. All the others wer drunk in the eighties and early nineties.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 30, 2022 - very smooth and elegant, not in-your-face or powerful at all. Still lively some 1½ hours after decanting, with lemon citrus and some flint. Great acidity balance with some maturity to tone things down.

January 28, 2018 - Muted nose of petrol, flowers, yellow fruits, apricots and tropical flavors. Still a good amount of energy and great balance. Plenty of acidity left. Has a ways to go.

January 24, 2018 - Beginning to oxidize. Much better on nose and palate for the first 30 mins versus thereafter. Rich honeyed complexion. Drink soon. 89-

April 3, 2016 - Wonderful aged Riesling, no petrol, no oxidation just pure fruit with proper development traits. You get some rockmelon and mango and a squeeze of lime. The palate is shapely with a bit of custard lactic action. It has fruit sweetness but finishes with pungent minerality and has remarkable persistence.
