Smells like a German Riesling... a little honey and petrol... but also some alpine flowers. Tart on the palate with lemon acidity. Very drinkable at 11.5% and enjoyable! — 4 months ago

Was very excited for a 10-year-old Riesling. It brought an incredible amount of zest and acidity for its age but must have left the nuance behind. Other than a very short initial burst of banana and petrol it was all zing and little flavor. — 7 months ago

Served this slightly chilled (12’C?).
Gorgeously fresh and pure dark fruit. Succulent, juicy, still primary….
Tannines and alcohol beautifully blended into the dense and viscous core. Only a slight hint of spice, chocolate and licorice now. Sweetness and freshness in excellent balance. It even feels more fresh than sweet at the moment. Certainly not too heavy nor intense.
This is so forward and yummy and sexy right now… I just don’t miss the complexity it might be lacking at this stage.
Sure, it has a few decades of life left and it could get more cerebral and complex…
But don’t bother. Drink it now! — a month ago
