November 24, 2022 - Still fresh on the nose, with lots of fresh apple and pear notes, some more floral/peachy flavors as well. Minerality on the nose, rain on slate.
Showing its age more on the palate, a little acetic characteristic, but a nice long finish of apricot preserves.
Time to drink, or maybe a year or two past, but still enjoyable!
March 10, 2019 - Lovely yellow gold, medium legs. Aromas are primarily tree fruit: apple and peach, with subtle hints of pineapple, petrol, apple blossom and honey. On the palate, definite lemon, apple, petrol, and hint of honey remains. Light to medium body, medium finish, medium plus acidity. Texture is linear yet a bit oily -- maybe the petrol? As the wine evolved over a few days, the floral aromas became more dominant and the flavor more lemon and tart/acidic. Overall impression: may be past peak, but still very enjoyable. At $18, QPR is average. Drink now.
July 4, 2017 - Slightly madernizedpear spreading to peach snd lychee notes. Nice finish
March 10, 2017 - Härliga mognadstoner, mycket av syran borta men fortfarande härligt fräsch. Torkade mogna aprikoser i eftersmaken, lite diesel i doften....helt klart värd att spara...
November 7, 2016 - Found this the other day in a liquor store that was selling off old Riesling stock at hilariously low prices. Picked this bottle up for $8. Figured even if it had been on the shelf for 7 years it was worth a shot. Gamble paid off - this is in excellent shape, drinking a few years older than the vintage suggests, but v. good all the same. I love the aging path some of these Rieslings take, where an almost chemical note ties up with the minerality and coats the outside of my mouth while a pure sweet (dry, but fruity) core sits firmly in the mid-palate. Not so much to Annora's taste, but an old friend to me. 12.5%.
February 15, 2016 - This wine has mellowed nicely as described by fCOT's tasting note. It could probably age another 5 years.
December 20, 2014 - In a really good place right now. A killer pairing with the choucroute garnie. Golden color with a classis nose of white flower, peaches, petrol. Onctuous on the palate with long dry finish
December 1, 2014 - Last bottle from purchase. Notes consistent with previous tasting. Nose is clean with wet stone and slight petrol. Initial palate is still very acidic and biting. Flavors of melon and grapefruit come through in the finish.
November 2, 2014 - nice crisp dry wine , a few years ago i had this and it was not good . this had some gasoline thing going on in the nose initially but that didn't last . i would drink this again , nice wine
October 26, 2014 - Drank with sushi this evening. A very nice match. Slightly spicy, dry, and floral. Drink up.
