December 27, 2022 - Really good. Dark color and taste suggests “mature” but how idea how long lived these will be. Tastes superb now, though. Honeyed orchard fruits, spices, a suggestion of residual sugar. If looking for a frame of reference this tastes like a good dry mosel spatlese with some age on it, but really I think these Ovum wines just take like themselves.

February 25, 2022 - Bought 2b for 15/b at a local independent shop on the recommendation of the wine director; this is #1. Light gold-green; reticent nose with some tart berry, bit of citrus; dry, subdued fruit. Overall simple and lacking Riesling character. Purchased in part to appease Riesling doubters, but this does not make a good case. Could this be past prime due to the vinting? We'll see if bottle #2 impresses. Quality, age, price: Drinkable+.

October 26, 2020 - I really enjoy these wines! Everything I look for in an ABC white - aromatic intrigue, freshness from bright acidity and food friendly, though just as happy to by drunk without.
