This was a pop and pour at the wine bar. The nose is balanced, yet succulent with flowing tones of red apples, pears, meyer lemons, quince, nectarines, creamed peaches, yellow flowers, saline, honeydew, and some melon notes. The Medium bodied feel is textured and silky with integrated, high acidity. The feel has balanced out well and is showing a decent level of maturity. While the acidity feels fairly integrated, it still lets you know its there with a mouthwatering quality.

Seven years post vintage, and it’s still a bit reductive after I pop the screw cap. That disappeared after 30 minutes or so, and revealed a broad shouldered, but still vibrant wine that showed darker tones than I would have expected. It’s a brooding Riesling, Strider in the fire light at The Inn of the Prancing Pony. It’s intellectual but regal, a true warrior statesman. I will hold my last bottle for quite while longer, so that perhaps the sage, benevolent liege will emerge.

Guter Essensbegleiter, harmonisch, aber (momentan?) etwas verschlossen... Netter Bitterton im Abgang. Bin unentschieden, denke aber ich warte mit der nächsten Flasche noch 1-2 Jahre. (Strenge) 88P

Beautiful bouquet with stony minerals. Same on the palate, honey, grapefruit, good concentration, beautiful acidity.
