  Delightful. Did not decant, but drank over several hours with the bottle open. Loads of citrus, white flowers, and minerality. Great acidity, certainly opened up and balanced out with air. Wish I'd had the patience to wait, but it was a fun side-by-side with some other Riesling.

  Double-decanted with an hour of air the night before. Day 2, classic expression, with good cut and typicity. Certainly took its time to unwind, even with the extra air/care. Nonetheless, I'm going back for a few more, as this will be quite delightful over the coming decade+. I'll likely consider the next one in 3-4 years. For its full potential, it's highly recommended

  Gorgeous wine. Classic nose of petrol, peaches, white flowers, and beeswax. Excellent acidity and texture. Palate-coating fruit. Classic. Better on day 2. Drink or hold.

  Oof. Closed and unyielding. Showing some fruit and minerality, but tightly coiled and not giving up much over a few hours. Waste of a bottle.
