August 7, 2023 - This is a wonderfully complex wine bursting with all kinds of fruit but in a mature and elegant fashion.

June 2, 2023 - Pale to mid straw in the glass.
Flint, mineral v fresh nose with lemon, herbs and white fruits - all pretty restrained. A little alcohol heat.
Rich on the palate creamy, with obvious influence of oak and initially some metallic notes which drop with air.
Overall a good glass of wine - but feels mature and in danger of becoming too rich - keep well chilled.2 people found this helpful Comments (1) -

February 13, 2023 - almond, papaya, lemon cream. high quality but on the sweet/tropical side and starting to be heavier on the palate. Still a crowd-pleaser but would drink over the next 12-18 months personally.

January 14, 2023 - Riesling glas,12C, PnP. Pre dinner tasting.
Gooseberry, mandarin, nettles, chalk. Crisp and good balance.
With chèvre chaud - stunner! Also with grape fruit, honeymelon, granny Smith apples. 14-16C is a better temp.1 person found this helpful Comment -
