Rieslings with Chengdu Impressions (Chicago, IL): #32-05, 8% abv. Fairly ripe on the nose, with sweet notes of stone fruit and even a little bit of melon. On the palate, this is admittedly a little foursquare and unexciting, with some pleasant honeyed notes and relatively mild acidity, but realistically not too much more. Good weight on the midpalate, with a slight phenol note on the finish. I think recent efforts at the estate are more interesting.

Clear, pale Lemon/golden Color, still very youtful. Intense, developing nose of ripe exotic fruit, smoke, herbs. Cool and clean on the palate, not too sweet, elegant and juicy with intense aromas and a Long finish. Not as complex as the 3 star Auslese but still very good. Has decades ahead.

A private lunch (Restaurant The Ledbury **, London, UK): Rich and waxy nose: youthful and juicy palate, ripe fruit, very elegant style, smoky minerality, bracing acidity, cool and clean, energetic, delicately sweet; lovely flavours and length. Will live for decades, drinking well already.

Decanted 4,5 hours before drinking. Balanced and fresh, but lacks a bit length and complexity. 90 points.
