Dec 25th, 2017Aged beautifully. More honeyed and rich at this point than sweet, it opens up to some fleshy nectarine & apricot notes. The petrol nose gives way to similar stone fruit & this is all knit together beautifully with a shimmering acid backbone whose brightness makes me believe that this has plenty of life still. Haunting Riesling.

May 27th, 2016Showing great and holding on strong. Honey and flint with sherry-like oxidation. Very dry but intensely fruity on the palate. I want more.
