  Held up well over several nights and enjoyable on its own as well as with food. I paired well with chicken tikka masala one night and red borscht the next. The former was the better pairing, but it did surprisingly well with the latter. It looks like I didn't have a prior CT note when I had another bottle, but I recall liking it slightly better 3+ years ago. Would peg it around 89-90 today.

  A refreshing Riesling. I really liked the slight hint of lemon on the finish.

  Light amber with some white peach on the nose. Tart fruit, medium body, some rhubarb with a bit of rs to temper the acid, Kiwi fruit along with the white peach and sour sorrel. Clean and refreshing with some lemon on the finish.

  All the same notes as last bottle, but just a little better tonight, crisp and fresh with a smooth mouthfeel.

  Light straw golden with a citrus nose. Lightly off dry with some tart mineral, granny smith apple fruit, lemon zest, having a touch of rs. Smooth mouth feel and drinking nicely with a balance toward the acid contributing to a freshness.
