  86++. I found this to be in a dumb phase, with a hollow mid-palate. There seems to be very good underlying material, though, and I think this could blossom into something really good in 5 or 10 years. Balance also seems good. Pleasing finish. Hold.
  Day 2: More open, with some nice honeyed pineapple flavors, confirms good aging potential.

  Cork, 12% alc. AP3117. Mid-gold.
  
  Medium intensity nose with a little sulphur, honey, toast, citrus, and a hint of passion fruit.
  
  Pleasant palate with soft acid, rounded fruit and slate flavour with a chalky finish with a slight bitter note. Supported by some RS providing weight. Lacking fireworks and intensity.
  
  Enjoyable enough but not setting the world on fire. I recall this looking better as a younger wine. Perhaps more time is needed for the sweetness to recede further in the hope of revealing more finesse?

  Not that high acidity but still very well balanced and not to sweet. Full and complex

  The nose is lifted and fresh with tones of white peaches, pears, green apples, white fruits, white flowers, saline, minerals, and some lemon zest notes. The Medium bodied feel is deft and balanced with tart, high acidity. This is a lovely and vibrant Riesling that shows good depth across the nose and palate. This does feel like there is room for it to grow with a few extra years of aging as there is a shyness at the moment.
