PnP, consumed over 3 hours. Appearance: Clear, medium gold. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with aromas of bee's wax, peach, petroleum, and honeysuckle. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium body, medium+ intensity, 13.5% abv with a medium+ finish.
Balance: Very good Length: Excellent Intensity: Excellent Complexity: Very good
Overall strengths are length and intensity with very good balance and complexity. Drinking well upon opening today, has the back-bone to drink well over next 2-4 years.

Dark color for a Riesling of this age - golden yellow. Nose is rubber, lime, spritzy-fresh, unripe pineapple, spiced pear, some pine, a little smooth-sweet character like light brown sugar. Palate is soft on entry, a little hot and bitter in the middle, but builds to a medium-high-acid, juuuust slightly off-dry, moreish finish, savory at the end. A nice domestic expression of Riesling. In an affordable category it’s not a stellar QPR, but was very nice tonight with Vietnamese food. 13.5%, $19.50.

golden yellow.
On the nose, rubber, lime, citrus, pineapple, and a slightly sweet note.
On the palate, medium + acid keeps a slightly hot
start in line. finish is linear and cleansing with a touch of sweetness.
Very nice wine and expression at the price

Full bodied with a notable savory middle and a well appreciated, longish finish.

Tropical and smooth. Enjoyed with spicy shrimp on a warm summer day.
