  Bottle was leaking and cork was completely saturated. This poured out a very deep gold color. However, with a sniff I could tell it wasn't ruined.
  
  Delicious but simple. Petrol, apricot, very close to dry.

  Felt a sticky mark below the capsule on this bottle during a cellar check. Signs of seepage with capsule removed. Soaked cork broke in half and disintegrated. A golden yellow robe, with a whiff of petrol, apple and slate on the nose. Green apple and seedless green grapes on the palate, with slate, less sweet than expected, and still with good acidity. However, a shortened, clipped finish seems to betray a slightly off palate. Previous bottles of this wine have been solidly in the 90s scoring-wise. Shall have the remainder of this momentarily with some Italian sausage frittata for Mother's Day brunch with my soon-to-return partner.

  Well balanced with not too much sweetness. Not very complex, but pleasant with a little bit of lemon rind, pear, and floral notes. Enjoyable. Good QPR.

  Served with lightly seared tuna with Asian spice profile. Worked very good. The bright upfront fruit is classic. The middle and finish are boring, but for the price paid I am happy.

  Presents with classic Riesling fruit up front, but fades through the middle and into the finish where there is limited interest and balance. Good nose and color and there are hints of age in the first third of the palate. I like it for the price, but would have been disappointed had I paid more for it.
