In better condition vs last bottle and able to see the glory of this lovely riesling. Good balance between fullness and acidity. Mix of citrus and yellow fruits. Medium light body but not feeble on palate at all. Lovely stuff. No hurry at all. 16+/20

The last bottle or two of this I have had were not as good but this was really radiant. Popped and poured. The nose is lovely floral and marmalade. The palate is fully mature, medium gold but still vigorous. Flavors of tropical fruits, peach, pomelo, minerals and marmalade coat the palate. This needs to be drunk now as well stored bottles will be great drinking but others will have started to show decline.

Medium yellow. Tea and peach. Dry with somewhat attenuated feel and tart, lemony finish. Not at all like the broader, more harmonious bottle last year. Same provenance (bought at release), so all I can advise is to drink up.

Light golden hay color. Piercing sweet lemon curd nose. Notes of lemon with lovely, zinging acidity balanced against a strong mineral core. Notable alcohol. Beautiful wine.

Yellow. Some secondary fusel plus baby powder and peach. Large scaled, intense, and dry with excellent complexity at this point. Outstanding bottle.
