Exceptional wine and so classically elegant (not using the B word) except that its hiding an extra point of alcohol (14%) behind an unassuming pale hay glow that looks light and lean. I love the bait and switch.
The delicate sprinkled spices of lemon curd and vanilla and toasted coconut shaving juxtapose the power in the palette - weight and viscosity and length to go the distance.

Tried to switch it up from my go to Chateau St. Micheal Riesling which is hard for me to do but, this one is actually better. The fruit taste is more tropical. Smooth finish. I used to be savingnon blanc guy in the summer , but summer 2021 I'm turning in to Riesling Man 🏔 😎 — 4 years ago
Delicious! Cherry and blackberry. Great balance. After the switch this wine has gotten a little thinner. It this vintage is wonderful. 15 at BD. Would definitely get more! — 2 years ago
Sensational. In both the literal and traditiional senses. And this is all about senses. Cerebral switch flicker. Vin-neutropic. You can let it breathe for a week at room temp and it won't give an inch.
The aromas are beautifully saturated with oxidized notes. Honey butterscotch, beeswax and Kentucky bourbon. Tropical notes. Papaya apricot. Floral stuff. Violets, white jasmine. And the chemical residue of a new leather handbag.
It tastes hot, but its only 12.5%. Finish powerful and long to completely exhaust your neurons. — 3 years ago

It’s going over the edge. Has a bit of prune that I don’t recall in other tastings. — 2 months ago
