Nov 5th, 2018Third time I’ve had this wine and I still adore everything about it. Loves air. Pale lemon/green with gummy worm aromatics. Powerful and dry at 13.5% abv. The age is just starting to show as the fruit character mellows. Rich, lees, neutral oak. I want crab cakes or Thai chile chicken wings.

Started with key lime pie, minerals, and Haribo gummy bears before moving into riper notes of baked apricot and tangerine. Looooong finish. Really opened up and waltzed across the stage after an hour open. Will easily age another decade. Tannin?

Wow. Powerful Riesling with smoky minerals (almost like Chablis), lime, petrol, green apple jolly rancher, and mouth watering acidity to spare at a decade old. 45 second finish. Worth every penny. $75

Light and fragrant on the nose, honeysuckle on the front, orange blossoms, lime with a mineral finish.
