  This was great from the get go (no decanting necessary) -- it's at absolute peak, a beautiful, beautiful wine.

  I bought some bottles at the winery a few weeks back. The cork was completely soaked, with some seepage under the capsule. The wine was medium yellow-golden in colour and offered exotic fruit, peach, spices and some firestone/smoke on the nose. On the palate the wine showed peach, exotic fruit, starfruit, ripe apple, a hint of banana, spice, some beeswax, smoke and mild ethereal notes, all built around a mineral core and a great backbone of smooth acidity, with some residual sugar and very good length. The broad, full-bodied wine benefited from moderate aeration and became smooth and very balanced after thirty minutes in a small decanter. It had good concentration and complexity and worked very well with food (in our case, baked trout). It should also pair well with sushi. My wife and I liked the wine a lot and finished the bottle in only one hour. A great, lovely Riesling! I only wish I had bought more than only three bottles…

  In a great place. Still fresh, but it has broadened on the palate. It did pick up oxidative notes after open (not decanted) for awhile. Not sure what that says about its longevity. It is good now.

  Powerful and racy wine. Exotic nose, flintstone. Good grip, depth, density so the slight lack of definition of the finish is very high level complaint. Formidable wine, no weakness on day 2. Nose deserves even higher scoring...
