  Audouze for Riesling ? It certainly worked here with the initial impression was of tiredness and possible oxidation but with a couple of hours this opened beautifully. Overnight in the fridge brought even more purity and complexity with a deep green gold colour and a delicious bouquet of lime, white cherry and nectarine, custard apple, white flowers and stones. The palate reflected the purity of the fruit with real density and purity balanced by a whip of acidity and stony minerality. There is excellent persistence and complexity that belies the year and the reputation of the maker. A real surprise and a lesson in enjoying riesling from a great terroir.

  Opens with a slight petrol nose, which I don't care for, but this subsided with time. Fairly complex with stone fruit and minerals. Long finish. Enjoyable for its price point.

  This is probably one of the finest Kabinett that a person can find. Tropical fruits, stone fruits, lush and aromatic. Great balance so never coying. Long finish. 93-94

  This wine remains a deep green gold colour with a delicious bouquet of lime, white cherry, nectarine, custard apple and stones with a zippy palate of intense fruit leading in to a mineral finish with a strong whip of acidity to balance the fruit. Delicious yet not for the long haul.

  This wine initially looked worryingly dark and the nose seemed closed but with aeration the wine while remaining quite deeply green gold was a more correct colour and showed a lovely nose of white nectarine, lime zest, custard apple, Granny-Smiths and slate. The palate has plenty of zesty fruit and a core of rich texture balanced by that whip of acidity and slate driven minerality. A very decent Kabinett from a difficult vintage.
