April 11, 2024 - Initially quite open with some evident notes a petrol, layers of minerality. Very concentrated and long and when paired with food you feel the manly core of acidity, citrus galore. A vertical wine from an open vintage. Still young.

February 3, 2024 - A similar experience to ACYSO; this was quite dark out of the bottle and seemed advanced. Ripe stone fruit, some apple, nuts, and honey. Great to have tried.
February 1, 2024 - BYOB dinner and then some; 2/1/2024-2/2/2024 (Avalon, Amsterdam): [Tasted blind] The petrol took me to riesling, but the acidity made me doubt it. This wine was on my bucket list, but the showing of tonight did not justify that spot. It felt too advanced for its age, a bit tired. Missing some tension, especially for riesling (and for a wine of this status). Medium intensity with petrol, lemon, lime, honey, linoleum. Ripe. Medium+ acidity, medium+ finish
October 18, 2023 - too young but a very coherent wine with awesome aging potential, try again 2030 +
August 29, 2023 - Tuesday (Chicago, IL): Surprisingly dark in colour and coming across as advanced, though this was still a great wine in and of itself. It just seemed more mature than I would have expected for a 2012. The nose initially shows a burnished, stone fruit quality, even though there is still lots of riesling-driven fruit aromatics and flavours. We put it in a decanter -- I think that was the right move, as this actually became more shapely as it got more air. The minerality and brightness gained strength, and the last sips were best.
July 28, 2023 - Fragrant nose, with a whiff of kerosine at the end. Multi-layered on the palate. Notes of green apples, lemon with a touch of honey. Balanced acidity and alcohol. Still fresh! Long finish. Paired well with an Omakase meal.
July 1, 2023 - PnP. No formal notes
Rather evolved yellow colour.
Yellow fruits, minerality, a bit reserved. Should it have been decanted?
Harmonious palate, h-A, mB, dry, complex intense fruit ending in a long finish.
Drink now-onwards
May 20, 2023 - Initial diesel, flowers, honey, citrus, and pears on the nose. On the palate with pitted fruit palate on top of the flavors from the nose, this was great with a triple crème Brie
May 17, 2023 - 回塞一小时，醒酒一小时，中金黄色，闻香有金银花，蜂蜜，生姜和柑橘的香气，入口酸度高，酒液咸，收口微甜，触感很柔和，柠檬和小白花为主的香气，表现略显羞涩，没完全打开，继续醒酒一个小时，闻香多了一些奶香，口中矿物感，刺槐花和果实的质感更加明显，酒液也更甜美一些，始终保持着非常柔软的触感，没有所谓强力地绽放，涓涓细流般细腻的表现却让人忍不住静下心来想细细体会。如果说别的雷司令多以男性化的结构感为主，这是少有的女性化的雷司令，柔媚的风格让它迅速与其他作品区分开来，我开始有点明白它为什么是很多人心里的白月光了。
March 1, 2023 - Pre-Paulee Warm-up Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): In great 2012 Riesling flight. The star of the flight, this is aromatically enchanting with so much apple, pear, melon, and mint with incredible depth.
