A little disappointing. Crisp with some CO2 but not very interesting for a few years in

2008. Solid if not as energetic as I'd hope for.

Showing its age as well as a lot of botrytis. Besides the acidity it was more akin to an aged Alsace Pinot Gris.

Beautiful yellow golden color and then strength and grace as oft described. Didn’t show that well with the spicy food but great with chicken next day. Minerals and stone fruits with long finish. Gordon 24 deal

Apple juice and candied lemon nose. Simultaneously playful and pretty, as well as structured and serious. Secondary fresh squeezed orange juice and spring flowers. I'm calling it breakfast Riesling.
