Wow, far superior to the bottle I tried on release, fresher too. This features day-glo lemon, lemon-rind, and passionfruit flavors and an exotic seasoning evoking things like cardamom or rye that feel so unusual to find in wine that each sip is newly jarring.

Quite certain this last bottle was improperly stored/stressed at some point--came from the NY Wine Warehouse for a fraction of the price years ago. But: not bad at all, this is one of those whites that shows a minerality that almost reminds me of saccharine, and while it's elegant and noble, I'll always be slightly biased against it for that. Sometimes German GGs would show this saccharine mineral finish in my experience as well. Interesting, saline and mineral, but just not delicious to my palate.

Bigmouth strikes again! This is a great wine and there is power and strength here for many more years! Had to drink them from very big glases, (Riedl Sommelier Bordeaux) because the smaller glas was concentrating the fragrance to much... BIG, also in my mouth - and my girlfriend loves it! :)

Early Apr 2015: pale golden yellow; reserved fruit nose; smooth in the mouth; very fruity: pear, pineapple; full body; some acid.

Top riesling. Vol geconcentreerd, smaakvol. Mooi wit steenfruit. Mooie combinatie van zuur en zoet. Mag nog jaren liggen.
