December 31, 2021 - ABV: 9.5%. This wine is in a perfect spot right now, and probably won't last much longer. Fragrant nose of green apples mixed with flinty minerality and a hint of honey. Additional fruits of kiwi and d'Anjou pear appear on the mid-palate, and dances together with the well-integrated acidity. The excellent finish leaves you salivating. Need to find the bottle(s) that I have left and drink'em up!
1/1/2022 - Had about half of the bottle left in the fridge so I drank the rest of it today (on day two). Needless to say, I raised my rating by two points because it was absolutely delicious! It also paired perfectly with my curry chicken over rice. What a great, yet simple, food and wine pairing to start off the new year.

March 13, 2013 - A.P.#36. Yellowish-straw colour. Green apple and yeast, much more so than previously - it's like the previous vintage in that regard. Slate. The palate is riper than the previous vintage, though, possessing golden fruit flavours. Yellow apple. Lovely bright acidity. Best bottle to date. Fine.
February 6, 2013 - Slightly sweet but very good. Great match with very spicy shrimp dish we have. I really like St. Urbans Hof riesling
