Flowery, perfumed aromatics; rich and round, possibly even advanced, without as much structure, backbone, as anticipated; medium, off-dry finish. Alarmingly expensive given reputation and what is actually in the bottle.

The cork was partially saturated with wine and fell apart when I was opening it.

However, the wine was pale lemon in colour. I also didn't pick up any alarming or off-putting aromas to suggest that there were any faults or flaws, so we drank the entire bottle.

This wine was on the citrus end of the fruit spectrum with underlying aromas of nondescript flowers.

2012 vintage - lemon zest, peach, and ripping acid. A little bit of fizz, but still quite nice.

2012 vintage. Super young, but more than drinkable. Very bright cytrus aroma, clear taste with just enough grass and pineapple in it.

Stone fruits, minerals and smoke...not my favorite from this producer but enjoyable nonetheless

Aromas of candied lemon, lime zest, oily on the palate. Vibrant acidity, low alcohol. Off-dry in style. Superb everyday riesling
