Pinot blanc. Delicious. Apple, pear, underlying funk, chalky minerality and great acid.

Light color. Light spritz when opened. Still remarkably fresh at 12 years.

At 11 years, still balanced, sweet, not cloying. I liked it with a single ice cube.

Undertones of citrus and petrol complement its honey aroma and sweetness, and though it falls flat in the finish, still drinks pretty pleasingly. Perhaps best before or after the meal.

Not my favorite Riesling, but not a terrible value for what it is.

After picking crabs tonight I needed something sweet. Honeysuckle on the nose and nice honeydew melon and honey on the palate. This wine is a honey bomb. Drinking the first glass room temp and its a little flabby (like my abs) Would like the acidity a bit tighter (like my abs). Also, my hands still smell like crabs and old bay ha
