  Great showing, consistent with the bottle I had a few months ago. Love the balance and the depth of flavour here - stones, flowers, fruit, herbs in equal parts all coming together seamlessly into a really polished, graceful expression of Riesling.

  Popped and poured; perhaps a decant may have helped it but it still showed superbly. Stones, flowers, pale citrus fruit, fresh herbs, all coming together seamlessly on a frame that's lean but not lacking in intensity or presence.

  Decanted two hours in advance, which I'm finding is the sweet spot for these wines at this age. A wow wine, just gorgeous on the nose. Bright and energetic, a real feeling of intensity and liveliness to the aromas. Fruit, stone, flower, herbs, cream - it's a complex and beguiling nose that shifts in shape as it goes. The palate comes off as less kaleidoscopic, and maybe it is. But it's also perfectly balanced and harmonious, and so all that's on the nose is just combining into this greater whole. I wish I had more of this, it's a great wine.

  This is terrific. Tons of floral, melon fruit aromatics. Bright, but lots of flavor and extract. Best of all so supple, balanced, and ethereal in weight, just super pleasurable in all the ways a wine can be

  Bright tropical fruits. Streaks of minerality on the finish. Roundness and viscosity of the palate perfectly balances the acid. Etched yet forgiving. It's beautiful.
