  January 26, 2018 - Clear light yellow. Wet stone, petrol and white flowers as well as some apple and lemon fruit. Very dry apple and petrol flavours very high acid finish.
  
  Nice wine but not as interesting as other vintages.

  December 31, 2017 - Nice chalk and mineral on the nose. Bright acidity with sweeter undertone. Straw and lemon. Reminds me of summer (not just because it is -30 outside in Alberta right now). Different than some of the sweeter rieslings - reminds me a sweeter child of unoaked Chardonnay and Chablis in a harmonious marriage.

  October 5, 2016 - Six Nations 2016: Toast, wax, orange and earthy spices. Palate still shows good acidity, with the fruit rounding out with the development. I think this is drinking nicely now and should continue to do so over the next couple of years.

  September 7, 2013 - Light petrol nose with lemon and minerals. Bone dry on the palate with crisp acidity, tart lemon flavours and solid length. This is a really nice bottle of riesling. Youthful but delicious right now, this should improve and develop over the next decade or more. Excellent. 90+
