What a treat to try this older Riesling from Brooks... Color was pale-medium gold, slightly oily visual texture. Aromas start with a noticeable petrol note, but quickly gives way to wet slate, citrus zest and pineapple. Tons of honey on the palate, again just a hint of petrol, not as much as I honestly would have expected. Tasted sweeter than it actually was... delicious! Dominated by honey, but with a backbone of ginger and maybe some guava. Still a solid medium acidity and medium finish. Very much enjoyed!

A very solid riesling. Good fruit flavors that linger on the finish. I like their Sweet P bottling just a little more with Chinese food because of the acid.

Clean and pure, with good cut to the green apple, pear, and fresh lime flavors. Refreshing, slightly spritzy finish that hints at wet river stones and Meyer lemon peel. Delicate, and very pretty.

Compared to the 07 which was showing more green apple fruit, this is showing more yellow apple side with a softer edge. Just like the 07 though this shows great acidity and intensity. Medium-long finish. Very good overall.
