December 2, 2022 - Attractively resolved, everything amalgamated beautifully, with lime, honeysuckle, blackcurrant leaf and cream on the nose, then passionfruit and underripe peach on the palate, softened with a touch of barley sugar. Not too sweet, just mellow despite the brightness of the flavours - very easy to consume and enjoy.

June 13, 2021 - Honey and citrus on a very balanced palate. Just the right amount of sweetness to stand up to our lamb shoulder, slow-roasted with chilies. Delightful.

February 20, 2021 - Beautiful honeyed fruit, but the decaying cork presaged a decaying wine - the acidity is nearly gone.

December 27, 2020 - Lovely bottle of this, fully resolved, light petrol nose but beautifully pure citrus. Rich, yellow fruits, good acidity for the vintage. Fruit coming into its own. This is very nice mature Riesling.
