    September 4, 2023 - [Restaurant purchase] At Wijn bij Stijn, Den Bosch NL. We had this after the Leroy Bourgogne Blanc and everyone declared this the much better bottle (at half the price). Just a brilliant riesling with lovely petrol notes, white peach, herbs, high acidity and a long finish

    August 1, 2021 - Lime zest and juice, lemon juice and pith, honeydew, green pear skin, and limestone flavors present in a well-honed and medium+ delivery of flavor. It is chiseled and focused, and comes off a bit juvenile and primary, but with air there is more-than-decent expansion of flavor to be had. Finishes with a nicely cut wet stone-meets-pear note that provides lift and zip, but partially halts the full elongation of flavor on the backend. I prefer these Rieslings young because I want the high degree of freshness. Of course, you sacrifice some depth for that luxury. 93-94 points.

    Paired great with a Vietnamese Pork Banh Mi.

    March 5, 2021 - Beeswax, melon, stone fruits, smells like a sweeter Riesling, palate is pretty dry, nice mouth feel, falls short on the mid palate, but long delicious finish, maybe needs a bit more vibrancy

    May 22, 2020 - PnP with Thai food. First wine like this for me- it didn’t disappoint. After 15-30 minutes the wine exploded with lemon, pineapple, huge peach infusion and a great mineral undertone without an over powering acid hit. This makes me curious what different levels of these wines are like. Very much enjoyed. 91-92

    May 14, 2020 - What a great glass of wine! A long life ahead but beautiful now. Nose with tropical fruit, fresh pineapple, apple, grapefruit. Palate with power, citrusfruit, pleasant acidity and some bitter tones I love.
