This is getting better every time I pop it. Had it almost at room temperature on a cool spring evening and it was just delicious. Viscous mouthfeel with high acidity cutting through the fatty liquid. It feels as if it has gotten more concentrated over time. There's some salinity on the mid-length finish that makes it so interesting. Such a good cool weather white at about 60F.

Good progress, it's fatter than a younger bottle. It's gained some weight with the years, it's more mellow, less acidic. Good balance. Reminds me of Smaragd Gruner without the pepperiness. This can hold for a few more years I bet but I don't know if anything can improve. It's pretty subtle already.

The color is deep gold now. Nose and palate are consistent with my notes from two years ago. Time has done good to this bottle.

Still youthful and may need another 2 or so years. Bright, nervous acidity dominates. There is complexity lurking underneath.

Fabulous. Has whiff of mint and bright aromatics. Not astringent at all and drinking well with roast chicken. Loved it!
