Magnum. Pale-medium lemon. Focused lime and nutty toast. Hint of TDN petrol development, with chalky minerality. Crisp, limey and toasty. Intense and powerful; long and lively. Beautiful. (TJ)

Screwcap. Quite delicate aromas. Gentle and delicate. Tasting it blind, I thought it was the cork version of this wine. Neat and in the prime of life. (JR)
RS 4.2 g/l. Juicy and difficult vintage with lots of disease – they needed Japanese friends to sort it out. Mid straw. Lime and great balance. Juicy and a little heavy by now. Needs drinking. (JR)
The 2012 Riesling noses of freshly squeezed lemons, green apple and lime leaves with underlying notes of wet slate and dill seed. Dry, light-bodied and offering a very crisp acid line to cut through the fruit intensity, it finishes with great tension. Drink it 2014 to 2021+. No known USA importer.
