This is your #riesling if you’re not a fan of the petrol / diesel notes, once this has had a chance to breathe a bit. While I don’t mind those, this is a nice alternative terroir expression - subtle floral and peach notes on nose. @Kurt Schuster is spot on with the crystalline descriptor. The palate is more about the luscious fruit texture backed by sturdy acidity and a touch of RS rather than a lot of complexity.

At Veritas Columbus, OH. From 2015, very fruity, love it. — 5 years ago
A crisp and zesty dry Riesling that perfect for casual summer sipping. Fresh nose has cracked stones, a slight herbal thing, and bruised green apple fruit. In the mouth it’s lively and zingy, bone dry, and quite refreshing. Thanks to my brother Angelo for this one.
UPDATE: On night 2, the fruit seems more vibrant and deeper. Upping from 8.8 to 8.9. — 2 months ago

For me (though perhaps not for others) this is at its apogee. Rich nose has petrol and deep, bitter honey, dried apples and apricot. Some botrytis for sure. Dry, rich, and, to my taste, very slightly oxidative, nice acids and a long, earthy finish that shows honeyed fruit, liquid minerals, and even a bit of mushroom. — 2 years ago

Interesting. Lightly sweet and floral of course. Distinctive persimmon notes. — a month ago
