I was seriously disappointed by this wine for the hype of the wine store and the price I paid in 2014. This is a big wine but it falls apart from there. It has a syrupy mouth feel and a crisp acidity; the two characteristics fight one another and challenge the balance of the wine. The sweetness seems almost cloying even though it is not overly sweet. Obviously, from my rating it is still a very nice wine but... I do not believe additional aging will significantly help or improve the wine.

Peaches and baked apples. Moderate sweetness and good acidity. Just a hint of petrol, making it mysterious rather than obnoxious. Long finish. Paired well with seared scallops at Thai Kitchen (Chester) along with pork Pad Pau Kak.

My first experience with this producer and it was a good one. Superb Riesling. Crisp, clean with beautifully balanced residual sugar and a monster finish.

Like the previous bottle, very clean fruit, but definitely more complexity and depth now. Impeccable balance and huge finish.
