  Give this one some air. A bit flat upon opening, but with an hour of air this blossoms into a well balanced, well aged Riesling with stone fruits and a touch of blood orange. This is pretty ripe, but it's kept in check by sufficient acidity. Nice minerality. Deep and moderately complex with dry extract. A winner.
  
  Edit: I added another two points because, with even more air, this became epic: deeper, more intense, less sweet, and more mineral. What a good wine.

  Dinner at Bolt with Dick & Amy. Pale gold in color, this medium bodied wine was extremely minerally and quite dry while maintaining enough richness to keep it from being like car battery acid that affects so many Rieslings that are "forced" to be dry. Very long on the finish. 50+14+14+9+9=96

  This is the first time I drink a dry wine from Boxler with some age. While I personally prefer them a bit younger, this wine has aged gracefully. Nose of autumn and windfalls, palate is dry with mature, mineral aromas. Medium finish. If I had one left, I would keep it for another five years... Performed equally well on day 2.
