served a little over 1 hour after opening. As expected there was the nose of petrol and polyurethane, but I was surprised how fresh this was. There was a little oxidation on the palate, but it was not sweetness as it was still relatively dry. Lovely nose of white flowers. In the Riedel Winewings Riesling glass this was noticeably more fragrant and elegant, and more buttery notes came out. A little lemon on the nose, slightly savory and almost a hint of umami more than 2½ hours later. There was just a hint of ripeness but again, the palate was still not sweet. Drinking so beautifully now, stunning!

SLDS September 2020: Out of half bottle. Mandarin, wax, melon and pencil shavings. Palate is pretty rounded out with a slight oxidative twang that clips the finish slightly. Feels like it's a touch past its best, which is fairly unsurprising out of half bottle.

A bit disappointing for such a high pedigree ... Well balanced Wine but falling short of expectations. Signs of maturity but medium intensity and short finish. Would not pay its current value ...

Clos Ste Hune vertical (Roberson, Kensington, London): Volatile and petrolly. A bit sweaty. But this grew on me and I enjoyed its maturity.

Tasted from Half bottle: Quite lean and unyielding shows some breed but just a good Riesling.
