First night I loved second night not as much; missing acidity that seemed puzzling at 4 years. But perfectly enjoyable! Lime candy, rocks, petrol...

Mineral, no complexity or layers but went well with our food. Nice summer wine

Sweet licorice, candied yam, plum wine. Less vegetal or grassy than I’m used to.

Missing the fresh grass/pear zip that FLX Rieslings often exhibit. On the sweeter side. I prefer off or semi dry.

Pretty flat. Falls short of the complexity and idiosyncrasy I appreciate in other Rieslings I’ve had recently.

Still drinkable. Just getting picky with this varietal, now.

Not too sweet, not too acidic Riesling. Ashy almost. Four Horseman.
