  March 11, 2023 - (Blind tasting)
  Full, perfectly mature nose. Apple and pineapple.Citrus and a whiff of petrol. Lovely depth. Harmonius.
  Medium-dry, almost medium-sweetish, creamy palate. Lovely acidity. Perfectly mature. Good balance. Petrol only present as spice. Almost tropical fruit impression with citrus backbone. Lacking some compelxity for higher marks.
  Drink now or in 5 years for more petrol.

  July 31, 2021 - Yellow with a green glint. As before, an easygoing wine with a cornucopia of apple, peach, and orange aromas and flavors. Moderately sweet, low acidity. Fat and loosely knit with no distinguishing characteristics of this great site. At age 14, the fruit is still going gangbusters, so just plan to enjoy that and forget about the wine's other shortcomings. Having paid the royal sum of $21 for it on release, I don't feel particularly cheated.

  September 8, 2020 - My last bottle and just as stunninga performance as before. The petrol and minerality and almost Auslese level of sweetness are all in abundance. There is plenty of acidity to support it too.

  February 3, 2020 - WSET Level 3; 11/3/2019-2/3/2020 (San Diego, CA): Tasted blind as part of my WSET Level 3 tasting exam. Incorrectly identified as a 2015/16 Vouvray.
  
  This is a medium lemon color; moderately perfumed aromatics of floral, bruised apple, apricots, bread, yeast, honey, hay and petrol. Off-dry, decidedly effervescent, light bodied with tone down acidity and a medium finish. Age has striped away a bit of the palate flavor and intensity. Still, lots of the same aromatic notes shine on the well balanced, delicate palate.

  March 4, 2019 - Full yellow. High toned perfume, honeysuckle, and ripe apple. Moderately sweet, loosely wound together, and not much slate for the site. Fully expressed and pretty obvious, but who am I to quibble with these luscious Riesling flavors? Just enjoy it and save the intellectual critique for another day. Nothing to be gained by holding longer.
