  Our last bottle of this, of 2 cases purchased in 2013, alongside the 2015 in Zalto Universals on a beautiful day. Not decanted. It has lost fruit, but the acidity and structure are still excellent. Nutty on the nose, plenty of richness, dark straw color, actually a bit Burgundian in that I might have called it chardonnay on first sniff, before really thinking about it. It seemed to improve after an hour or so open, surprisingly given that the fruit was a little tired, and the last sips were among the best. Finished on the deck. What a run for these bottles. Makes us think the drinking window on VdF may start at 5 yrs and go to around 10, but could be longer what with more GG wine included, older vine age, improvements in winemaking etc.

  From memory. Decanted. My last bottle and just beautiful. Petrol on the nose with tart apples, minerals, unripe pears, mild eucalyptus and flowers. Palate was similar to the nose with petrol being a small component on the palate. Just excellent minerality leading to a complex and beautiful finish. Delicious. Mouthwatering. Complex. A complete wine.

  CK 5/21/19. Tastes less dry than in 2010 but I think thats because it has rounded out with age. Everything in balance and lovely expression of dry Riesling. Drink or hold.

  As with previous bottles, an overperforming basic trocken, aging beautifully. Dry but generously fruited, this was well liked by P. A steal at $19.
