Top Notes For
Who knew a screw cap Riesling could show like this at nearly 20 years? Wonderful wine - powerful fruit, flint, texture, hint of sweetness, great acid, very long finish.

Nov 8th, 2021Really very nice, but needs at least a bit of air to open up. Not sure I’ve had a screwcap with this much age before but it held up very well and changed meaningfully with even 30 mins of air (which makes some good sense I suppose). Aromatically quite intense, with waves of white fruit and flowers. Mouth filling in a way few wines are. Some good chalkiness on the finish. Acid slightly muted with the age but the finish is long. Perfect with some simple roast tilefish.
