  Juicy, relectant, dense, some yellos stone fruit but dominated from pink grapefruit and salinity, everything is at the right place. Still very young. Refreshing acidity. 92+

  12,5% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Quite deep yellow-green color with golden highlights. The nose is very open, fragrant and so obviously Riesling that I'm willing to bet my life on this wine being a Riesling after just a single sniff. Varietally typical aromas of perfumed white flowers, beeswax, some ripe citrus tones, a little bit of honeydew melon, a hint of peach and a developed touch of some waxiness. The wine is structured, medium-bodied and mineral on the palate, but also pleasantly round and oily at the same time with dry flavors of tangy green apples, steely minerality, some beeswax, a little bit of developed dried peach, a hint of lemon marmalade and a touch of stony mineral bitterness. The racy acidity and steely mineral edge make this wine feel pretty typical for a Rheingau Riesling. The finish is lively, rich and lengthy with focused flavors of honey, steely minerality, some tangy green apples, a little bit of key lime, light pithy hints of pomelo and a touch of beeswax.
  
  A nicely structured, harmonious and mineral Riesling that shows some enjoyable developed richness, but also lots of minerality and acidity to keep the sweeter tones well at bay. Most likely the 5 years have toned down the wine a bit, as it lacks the leanness and austerity a young Rheingau Riesling might show. Will probably continue to develop for a number of years. Delightful stuff, recommended.

  (at Social Eating House - London) Beautiful, rich mouth feel for a Riesling trocken. Golden color and tart apple flavors. Delicious. (91)

  12.5% vol
  Oak? Reminiscent of good quality oaked Sauvignon Blanc.
  Luminous touches to the darker colour, very rich and exotic aromas... super character: hints of oak, cream, tropical fruit.
  
  Concentrated and rich on the palate, clearly needs time. Creamy elements, some oak, complex and spicy. John commented on ‘orange juice’.
  
  Next day:
  Less defined. Oak still there, feels kind of soft and deep. Classy but obvs needs time.
