  Powerful nose that fires in all cylinders. Wow. Petrol flavors jump out first, betraying its pedigree. As air took part, layers of key lime pie, pineapple, beeswax and salted butter appeared. In mouth it’s thick and oily. Flavors confirms the nose with notes of honey, lime, grapefruit and pie crust. This wine is barely hitting its stride. Long finish.

  Very interesting Riesling. Golden yellow colour. Nose has the typical varietal petrol aroma with the minerality of Alsace, along with baked apples, almonds, honeysuckle. Viscous, elegant mouthfeel with medium acidity and a nice finish. There is a little hint of bitterness on the finish as well. A very nice vin de terroir.

  Til grillet breiflabb i urtesmør ble dette sommerens desiderte vinner og påkaller en mengde superlativer potensert av denne herlige tropenatten.
  Lys gyllen på farve, deilig petro og florale toner initielt på duft, fyldig, bløt, elegant og presis, meget god munnfølelse. Sitrus, modne epler, appelsin og blomst kommer etterhvert. Også mineralske og noe sjøtoner. Min venninne ble hensatt til sjøhuset og en annen beskrev vinen som «an airplane flyging through fields of fruits and flowers» - spot on.
  Vinen har bra med syre, flott struktur og ettersmaken sitter leeenge i.
  Dekantert i 3 timer, fulgt i ytterligere 2, pur drikkeglede! 92-93 poeng herfra.
