  A little amber in colour, it’s 9 years old. There’s no real bouquet coming off this wine. It’s still very fresh and tart with some green apple flavours and maybe some lime. Pretty long finish. It’s a little on the sweet side, but still a nice wine. There is no hint of the petrol taste or aroma that we have sensed in other bottles of this wine. I think it’s that last of this vintage in the cellar.
  
  We are having it with Turkey, spit roasted over apple wood, Brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, gingered carrots. Should be a nice dinner.

  Somehow missed this one in the cellar - certainly never planned to wait this long to open a 2014. And yet, aside from a lot of stored apples in the nose and some on the palate, it is still drinking nicely. A very big, rich wine for a Riesling. Wish we would have opened it two or three years ago.

  Nice german Riesling. Just enough sweetness. Good acidity. Happy with it.

  Light straw color. Lime, pear, and a whiff of petrol. Lime and slate on palate. Good acid, moderate residual sugar, and only 9.5% alcohol.

  Opens with stone fruit, lime, and slate. Flavor is the same.
  Off-dry. Meduim-length finish.
