Light gold color. Aromas of apricot, orange marmalade, candle wax, new tennis balls, honeysuckle. Plush texture, medium acidity, a waxy feel with sweetness woven in well. Orange marmalade, apricot jam, spiced white tea, honey. Pretty and fresh, but the acidity doesn't shred as hard as I'd like. Still very nice. While fresh, I don't think this vintage has that super focused acidity to make this a really long-aging wine.

Golden yellow color was very distinct against an 08 Qba Riesling from the same producer, flavor was slightly muted as the age is begining to creep in. Flavor is still a nice blend of fruit without a ton of sugar and is a wonderful cut to szechuan food. Not sure how long I would wait, if you have some drink sooner versus later

Delicious. Drinking well now. Light petrol and good fruit and acidity

A bit simple and flat. Notes of peach and lime. Hint of minerality but not as much as I usually like in my Rieslings. Soft on the finish.
