Good intensity, similar to the last bottle. A bit more grapefruit than lemon on the finish this time, but overall plenty of depth. The tart edge was great with smoky peppery tomato lentil stew.

Very good intensity, brought to Ancora, seafood/italian restaurant. Went very well with the food - balanced the tarter flavors and complemented the richer ones. Overall a very lemon/mineral oriented bone dry riesling, with a very long, slightly tart, rock-head style finish. While others have said the acidity is off balance, I didn't see that at all - certainly very acidic, but with good balance and made to to with rich food. No rush to drink these, they will age well for many years.

Good nose. Full, strident, intense mouth that is almost painful to drink, so no quaffing here. Decent length that I’d say could be a bit longer in keeping with the rest of the wine.

From glass. Nose: Riesling nose of rubberlemonsapples, unremarkable but clean, and with air eventually sweeter. Palate: lots of savory, petrolly lemon, much *width* of acid. Impression of wine in the middle of mouth and palate having been of full color but then having had a fade effect applied to it. Filled in towards end of glass. Fine, and again impressive width of acid. Yeah, I can understand the accolades and the high scores here.

Similar to previous, but without extended aeration. Simply popped and poured and it was singing in harmony.
