Agree with prior notes especially the similarity with orange wines and add a distinctive pineapple quince nose and a touch of bitterness and saline on the long beeswax finish. Delicious and fresh at this age but I suspect it is at the tail end of the drinking window. Very well balanced well made unique wine. Paired it successfully with a spicy umami meal of local tamale pollo rojo.

Some reduction at first; tasting note below about earl grey tea is right on, because this wine is like citrus filtered through tea leaves; texture suggests skin contact, but this is not an orange wine; like no other muller-thurgau (or, for that matter, any German white) that I've had

Complex wine - orange peel, lemon, salt spray, Earl Gray, a little bitterness, gets more weighty in the mouth with warming. Texture a little like a Rhone white. Liked it and expect it could improve with age, but needs proper food - fatty fish, poultry, duck ?
