An unexpected surprise, this wine has become superb after a decade in bottle. Long, concentrated and nicely balanced between tartness and sweetness. A tiny bitter fruit taste at the end that is arresting rather than unpleasant.

Two years on... this is still a beautiful Riesling, more integrated and complete wine, seamless. But I think I prefer this in adolescence. The elements that defined its prior complexity are less clear, and the acidity has less cut. Very curious to see where it goes.

Exquisite, complex nose of petrol, honey and orchard fruit. Sweet white peach, clover, honey in the mouth. And a beautiful limy acid that's like meth. You just want more. An underlying, tantalizing saline minerality. Integrated and balanced. This almost made me want to cry. It's that good.

Given 7/17, probably not a big surprise that I opened another one. Same result. This is so much better than crack.
