This was better after some time in the decanter. Generous concentrated pineapple fruit was way out in front of the acid at first. Airtime brought it into balance, but the structure here is definitely moderate. Good wine for a cheese course.

Golden yellow. A little heavy which is not an issue but this is a bit flabby I think due to not enough acid. What is really nice though is this has just enough age to have a petrol hint which is a highly coveted trait amongst Riesling aficionados. The trick here is I cannot tell if it is on the decline or if it is going to get better in three to five years. Aged Riesling is multifaceted and there are so many contingencies for the aging process to work well. Peach and apricot are there but not balanced with the petrol and light syrupy texture I find. Interesting but not living up to some of its colleagues.
