December 12, 2023 - Quick decant. Nose of white flowers, tropical fruits, and a "not quite" petrol note. Deep and rich palate of cooked pineapple, apricot, white peach, honeysuckle, and a hint of cardamom. Lush, broad palate of white fruit, melon, honeycomb, and granite with medium-minus acidity.

July 10, 2023 - Quick decant. Floral nose with white peach, honey, and light citrus. Palate delivers a burst of lemon, lime acidity, and more white peach. Finish of grilled peach, orange pulp, honey and a light bitter note providing balance at the finale. Best Riesling we've had in a while!

November 9, 2022 - Lots of Riesling character on the nose; fresh lime, clementine, and citrus blossom. Bright high acidity on the palate, though with a nice smooth/round mouthfeel. A bit warmer in flavors than suggested by the nose- key lime pie, mandarins, whipped cream, a touch of residual sweetness. The finish is medium in length with an emphasis on citrus flavors. Very surprising that the label says 13.5% ABV- I never would have expected it to be this high, and it hides it well!

December 24, 2021 - Excellent. Quite floral on the nose but the acidity is spot on. Perfect with an asian stir fry.
