Not as much petrol this go around. It's still there. Alcohol a little more present. White peach, nice.

Fantastic. PETROL for sure with peach, apricot, and pear. So nice with Thai food. Seek this one out.

Yellow to bright gold in the glass....
White peach, ginger, jasmine with a touch of petrol and flintiness on the nose.
Rich and Intense yet balance with very very bright acidity (lime juice like) and ripe fruits on the finish !!!

First foray into French riesling and holy crap this is delicious! So complex and with many layers ranging from fresh and bright to honeyed and salty. I bought more immediately and will definitely decant the next bottle of this golden nectar!

Amazing. Almost effervescent acidity and cool minerality. Light honeyed peach on the finish.
