Tasting recently after bottling (august 2013):

  • Color: Light to medium yellow.
  • Smell: Open and accessible, broad and rich Riesling character, soft grassy with lemons and citrus, and a lot of minerals. Very agreeable.
  • Taste: Fat and rich without being clumsy, mouth filling, easy accessible, and behaving like a mature wine. Spicy in the long and coating after taste, with a wee bit of sweetness.
  • Judgment: Ideal for accompanying good food. Consume at 10 oC.
