  February 2, 2020 - 30 years on, it’s still balanced and drinkable. Light petrol and flowers on the nose. Not much acidity left, but didn’t move into the syrupy sweet zone either. Dark straw in color. Enjoyable.

  November 26, 2012 - The wine is a bright, golden yellow color. The very fresh smelling nose has lime zest, apples, honey, petrol, orange blossoms, and a touch of white pepper. This is light to medium body with very nice, juicy, acidity and is nicely off dry, but not sugary sweet. Juicy, honey drenched fruit and key lime greet the palate with just a touch of spice in the background. The finish is very tasty but a bit short, with the key lime and honey carrying the major load. Not my favorite from the Garagiste Riesling fest a few years ago, but still very enjoyable. The wine lacks some complexity and length on the finish, but it still tastes marvelous. This still tastes young and fresh for a 22 year old wine.
