Lemon and lime aromas with a touch of freshly baked apple tart. Zesty and ripe with lovely sweetness but zippy acidity to cut through. Nice mouthfeel, almost creamy with a real lushness to the fruits. A touch of spice in there and a long marmalade filled finish. Superb.

(Celebratory dinner) [parallel with Mr Grosset's 2011 Noble Riesling] Orange blossom perfume, marmalade fresh mandarin zest, tiny white flowers - utterly inviting. Tight, rich, yet precise, delivering sweetness and citrus candy and mandarin marmalade as promised by the nose but perfectly balanced with a tight clean acidity, light yuzu peel and kumquat bitters. Long oily finish, treading the delicate balance between unctuous yet clean. Strikingly similar to Mr Grosset's but feminine and light of feet.

The Sampler Spring Tasting 2013 (Islington): Interesting to taste this straight after the 1993 Auslese: not a million miles apart. Lime cordial but beautifully balanced. Excellent. 17/20.

Theatre of Wine 'Summer Collection' (Theatre of Wine, Tufnell Park): Caramel, kerosene and marmalade aromas. Palate is just a little cloying but irresistible nonetheless. 17-/20.
