  4/26/2024 - James Kim Likes this wine: 88 Points

  Decanted. Now 30 min after decant. Somewhat shy but nice, elegant aromas of just ripe gala and tart apples, hints of flowers, some spices and hints of minerals. Palate with some minerals, herbs, and a hint of fruit. Medium body with excellent acids. Nice minerals on the mid palate. Moderately long finish of tart apples , minerals and a hint of herbs. I can't quite get a read on this wine. I think this is young, but I also think that a little bit of residual sugar would really lift and add balance to the wine. There's not that much complexity. I'm not sure if that's because this wine is young or if the material is just not quite there. I wish I had another bottle to see where this would be in about 5 years. For now, this is a fairly straightforward, somewhat simple riesling that definitely leans on the austere side.
