  Excellent riesling. Early worries by some about a lack of acidity and freshness can be forgotten. This is very well balanced, offering a ripe fruit-driven nose with a hint of petrol. Followed by a mouthfull of ripe fruit, still fresh and very more-ish. Good long finish. This is very good, but not profound - I look forward to the Schlossberg Cuvée Catherine.

  A French Bistot dinner in … London (Bouchon Racine , London): Pretty from the word go. Soft petrolly, peach, apple and of course floral. Such a pretty nose that held all the way. Light sweet citrus too. Proper acidity on the palate, fully dry, fresh and still ever so youthful. Such a bright wine and full of hope for the future. Easily another decade of great drinking here and most likely more. 92 for now.

  Very young and not fully developed. Very elegant. Apple, white fruits, some honey but also some bitterness in the palate. Full body. Give it some more years.

  From glass. Large nose of sweet lemon, and mostly that; possibly something rockier. And, a big palate too. Fruit sweetness offset by acid, beautiful and complex palate of citruses and tropicals and petrols and bitters. Some alcohol firmly tucked away there behind all this, so can imagine this showing ugly with the wrong bottle or for the wrong palate, but for me really, really in the zone today. Sharpness to the acidity, including an end-palate "flintiness" to be perceived as "minerality," but while this is certainly Alsatian Riesling, there's enough "body" here to satisfy a chardonnay drinker. Terrific wine.

  Wonderful expressive exotic nose, with soft yellow fruit,papaya,orange and lemon peel,along with summer blossom and hints of honey.The palate is so elegant,it feels weightless,with such vibrantly delicate flavors of fruit,minerals and salinity.A truly stunning showing.
