Med+ aroma and flavor intensity, pear, peach & beeswax, med/high acidity, shows its age well; finesse comes to mind, this is a dry Riesling w/drink now quality, but is still evolving. Very good.

Very nice! Semi-sweet, briny, with a little grass and petrol. Every sip an adventure!

Floral, citrus, mineral, lovely texture. Edit: Revisiting while sipping a bottle and it’s an absolutely gorgeous wine. So succulent and such intensity. Bumping up my score.

Bone dry, petrol on the nose. From my favorite village in Alsace (Eguisheim)

Lacking much of a nose at all, even after warming up. Crisp Bosc pear and lychee on the palate though with great acidity. Best pairing was with the tomato bisque. :)

2014 in 8/22. A KL grab likely bfr lvg CA. $25. Drink windows thru 25+ but this seemed to hv lost its verve. Limpid and lacking general zip I expected. Less than stellar Rsl is better than a lot of other things so I'm not bitching.
