May 27, 2021 - Second bottle and in much better condition than the first.
Pale hue, bright intense aromatics; hard to believe this Riesling is 22 years old.
Intense, mineral nose; concentrated without being heavy.
full range of aromas: citrus fruit, mango, floral
Substantial palate weight but enough acidity to keep it from coming across heavy.
Powerful wine, long clean finish.
Will go another 10 years. Great. -

November 20, 2020 - First bottle from a case of 6.
Low fill, suspicious cork with some seepage. No signs of TCA.
Hue of a 5 year old Riesling.
Great brightness and freshness on nose. Citrus fruit, stony, floral.
Really nice texture, excellent acidity, alcohol not perceptible despite 13.5 %, long clean finish.
Really nice and the worst looking of the 6 bottles. No hurry to drink -

November 29, 2018 - Great wine. Still very alive, very complex. Citrus, mainly lime, pineapple, honey, limestone. Great acidity. Length, depth and concentration.

August 22, 2018 - Citrus, mineral, petroleum, honey and green peppers. Heavy and elegant taste. An acidity that fells 10 years younger. Lime and passionfruit. looooong aftertaste. Love it!

August 9, 2018 - Just... wow... Deep yellow gold color, with a lovely nose of dried citrus skin and earl grey tea. Rich and expansive in the mouth, but the sharp acids keeps this in perfect balance. A lengthy wash of minerals in the finish. So poised, so packed with flavor... this could be at peak.
