December 11, 2022 - Clean and refreshing, bit I found it a little light and lacking in sweetness for my palate. I thought it might have aged better.

June 9, 2022 - At Ku De Ta. A nice tipple for a warm Balinese afternoon. This had a decent nose of green apples edged with tropical fruit, then a touch of ripe limes, and just a hint of petroleum that showed the little bit of bottle age it had. The palate was pretty decent too, juicy and succulent with plenty of mouthwatering acidity, it unfolded in a singular beam of green apples and citrus fruit stretching into a lightly mineral finish. Simple, but very drinkable and food friendly.

May 28, 2021 - Nose has juicy green melon and papaya, ripe yellow pear, spearmint. Palate is much the same with a nice mineral and saline side too. Juicy and generous but the lean vintage (relative to subsequent years anyway) also shows in the medium, relatively taut (for an entry level Alsace wine) body. M+ acid.
I haven’t had this wine younger but it feels like a few years in bottle have done it good and it’s not showing any sign of tiring; I think it’s in its peak window now but will hold there for several more years. Worth the $20 I paid, and I’ll buy at least a couple bottles of the 2019 when they come around. That said I wish I had a lot more 2016 Riesling in general. 6.5/10 -
