  Served blind. This one tricked everyone, as it didn't come off as stereotypical Riesling. Hint of RS, reductiveness to the nose, lean fruit on the palate, great length and med body led people to everywhere but Riesling (incl. Chenin/Sauv Blanc/White Burg).
  
  Very well made and tasty, aromas of yellow orchard fruit, pear, golden apples, slight muscat, honeysuckle and blossom, and a slight lean grassiness. Opened up with time, this can go further as it has the acidity and fruit intensity for ageing.

  From magnum. Nice nose with a mix of fruit, lemon, peach, flowers, and minerals. Great acidity on the palate with lemon, tart peach, apricot, saline notes, and minerals. Nice finish. A lovely wine that is drinking quite well already, although the acidity could use a bit of time to mellow out. 94+

  Also a long time resting. Has that nikolaihof cream character to it. All hand work and horses.
