Very good, but I think a few years away from what I like. Still has a young ‘spritzy’ edge, I like them more when they reduce and become oilier. But has great Riesling fruit up front and trailing minerality. Also not quite enough of that Riesling petrol and plastic hose bouquet.

Nose is a seemingly unpleasant bouquet of durian fruit and petrol. Palate is creamy white peach and lemon drop.
