Absolutely lovely! The nose is mostly secondary now, very mineral, but there is good fruit still, and it’s quite complex and pungent. Good balance on the palate and although not super impactful or long, it’s got good intensity of flavor and it’s entirely delicious. And it’s 15 year old barrel X. Very cool.

Great QPR at under $15, this riesling is everything a nice, simple German white should be. Great as an aperetif or with a belgian endive and pear salad...

Agree completely with Keith's note that it is fairly typical on opening, but wow, what a crazy wine with a day of air. Quince, spiced apple, gobs of minerality, lime, and yeast. Fairly dry. Long finish. Right after opening, it was about 86 points, but what a difference a day makes.

Reductive and sulphurous indeed. Still a lovely wine behind it.
