  February 20, 2022 - This was very good - acid backbone, typical character, strong in the midsection. Aromatic but not overly so. I would recommend highly.

  September 8, 2021 - PHYLLYVINE2112 said it all. Just to add the pineapple, coconut and heavy peach aromas. Pina colada, but in a good way. Just a bit drier would have been even better.

  December 21, 2020 - Gorgeous hit of limestone, with sea spray a hint of citrus, a gentle kiss of very old oak, this traditionally made Alsatian Riesling is wonderfully expressive. Just barely off dry, the wine has a moderate acidic lift and a clean, crisp, medium-length finish. Fantastic deal at the price I paid and acceptable QPR at a $48 retail price. Very nice. Ready to drink with air. Don't serve too cold.

  March 1, 2019 - Nicely expressive nose with plenty of lime, chalk, and yellow apple. Big hit of lemon, peach, and minerals on entry but it was decidedly flat on the mid-palate and abrupt on the finish. Will hold my remaining bottles a bit before diving back in here.

  August 16, 2018 - First taste while doing other stuff. Seemed sort of simple but I couldn’t really concentrate. Will re-taste at a later date.
  
  [later that evening]
  Actually had a chance to properly taste this. Nice golden appearance, clear and bright. On nose, wet sidewalk, apricot, grapefruit. Palate is sound. Medium-high acid. Tiny touch of sugar. Creamy on palate. Citrus really accentuated on palate. Long finish.
  
  This is a much better wine than I had previously thought. Great fruit, good acid. I'd love to age this but I suspect I'll drink it all first.
