March 9, 2024 - This wasn’t as great as I had hoped. A bit thin and bitter when just opened, it did gain a bit with air but showed no real complexity and power like the best German Riesling can.

A bit too much yellow stone fruits but still fresh. NOt reched his peak. Well to drink now. 92-931 person found this helpful Comment -
