Very solid showing! On the DZH indice scale, I'd give this a 2, tops. Very big and rich in the mouth, and featuring a tell-tale Riesling nose of petrol, minerals (i.e., wet slate), lemon, and grapefruit. Still quite acidic and structured, but accompanied well by the rich, decadent mid-palate of candied lemon drops. The finish was suave and long as well. In good shape now, but I don't think there's a hurry here - a little more enjoyable than the '04 Gewurztraminer Furstentum Veilles Vignes, which was slightly more austere and sharp. Either enjoy now, and hold over the next 3-5 years (or perhaps even longer).

Clear with medium lemon yellow color, Nose pronounced but youthful dominated by a pears, sweet lime , floral perfume, and resinous minerality. Dry with Medium plus acid Palate is in line with nose with pears, wild honey, and flint .. Very consistent with previous bottle.

Les Gobeloteurs Wine Garden Party (Domaine Stéphane Ogier - Ampuis): Brief note from memory, tasted earlier today. From 3L. Very floral with stone and tropical fruit, yet restrained and well textured. Botrytis hints add another layer of nuance.
