    Good>Very good. Drank over three days, with day one being the best for my tastes. That said, day 2, and to a lesser (aromatic) extent, day three were both enjoyable, more so with food. On PnP, the off-dry, stone and yellow fruits dominate they nose, as expected; some really pretty seashell, and linen notes with lots of air. The palate is medium-bodied, the finish is med+. It’s good now, but honestly, I think I’ll wait for a few years on the others. Oh, Laurence, we miss you. 13,5% abv., natural cork. Purchased at the domaine on release. Drink or hold thru 2026; pure, with good structure. recommended

Sounds nice. Holding a few 12’s from them.

Thanks for the note! Just bought a bottle of their 2016 Schlossberg Riesling. Do you know if there is a big stylistic difference between the two? I’ve only had the Cuvée Theo which I have enjoyed quite a bit but that’s a bit more entry level I believe.

What a coincidence! So did I!
