September 3, 2018 - Those interested in tasting the evolution of older rieslings will find a little less acid in this wine after twenty years and increased pear notes. Still delicious.

January 7, 2008 - Petrol, zingy green apple, lemon-lime, plenty of citric acidity, well integrated sweetness. Even better the next night, one of those wines you could easily kill a whole bottle of alone. Great value at $15, should have bought more.
