  December 21, 2023 - Thrilling combination of ripe peach and green citrus in an off dry, medium weight package with zesty acidity.

  January 14, 2023 - Medium yellow. Crystalline nose and palate of lime and stone fruit with tingling acidity and stoniness. Very crisp despite moderate sweetness. Early days for this wine.

  September 21, 2022 - powerful stuff, mineral sweet tart, which I like, though the sweet here I think slightly overpowers the other elements. very very long there's no denying the quality here

  July 18, 2022 - Great nose, could smell this all day. You can almost smell the energy. Palate has so much depth and intensity while still somehow being so light. Fantastic bottle of riesling, but still probably even better in a couple years.

  January 29, 2022 - Method: pop and pour; 50 degrees; white wine glass
  
  Look: medium straw
  
  Nose: unripe stone fruit / yellow peach, light lemon, light minerality, salinity, light spice, light honeysuckle
  
  Palate: lime, unripe nectarine, minerality, salt, faint spice (ginger?); medium finish minerality, faint parsley; low+ sweetness; med- body; high acidity that's most apparent on the finish
  
  Overall: I was concerned this might be in a muted phase, and I think that's the case. Really wonderful acidity that's balanced pretty nicely with just a bit of sweetness, although I wouldn't mind just a bit more sweetness or ripe fruit to create a bit more tension. The notes on the nose and palate seem subdued. It's possible this might need more air, but likely needs some more time in the cellar. If this comes together and becomes more expressive with time, this will be a pretty special wine. Great wine today, largely due to the wonderful acidity
