April 2, 2024 - Retail $55? Very Responsible Bottle (450g; 15.8 oz). Quite dark with plenty of lemon and more than a hint of petrol. Well into golden and certainly with some oxidation (under cork). The palate has hints of fruit but only hints with an intense nuttiness and a healthy dash of petrol. Yeah. This is old, tired, and should have been consumed a while ago. Unless you like older Rieslings. Which I do. 88

August 11, 2015 - Brilliant pale straw in color. Lovely nose of green apples, minerals and a hint of peach. Tastes of grapefruit, white pepper, and limestone. Beautiful acidity. Bright and well balanced. Drinking well with more midterm development potential.

April 11, 2015 - Fortitude is the word I think of. Petrol nose, dry with great acidity that burns through til the end. Mineral, apple and is that creaminess upon opening? White pepper spice too. Impeccable balance, a formidable Riesling.
