Pretty austere. Lime/melon/ Granny Smith apple with screaming, racy acidity. Pricey. Aging potential.

Saved this Magnum for a special evening. It lived up to all expectations...perfect balance, light, dry, with hints of honey. So glad we waited, so sorry it is gone.

Beautiful balance of fruit, minerality and structure. Rich yet restrained and simply a delight to drink

Pale gold, waxy flowers with a suggestion of black coffee, dry, good acidity, persimmon and lime, tickle of butterscotch, so a mix of flavours. Elegant but starting to show its age.

2005 vintage and still particularly youthful. Got to love the screwcap!

Normally one of my top 3 or so New World Rieslings, but has not aged well.
