This vintage really seemed to suit Riesling, when it ripened without any hesitation to over 13º Baume (our highest ever). Flavour: full; style; dry as always. Not yet bottled (mid July 93). We hope to have it ready by the release weekend.

Gold colour. Complex toasty lemon aromas. Sweet ripe toasty lemon pear skin flavours. Fine minerally cutting acidity. 90 points.

Medium colour. Overdeveloped brassy, crme brule aromas and flavours. Developed, but generous fruit sweet and complex palate with tobacco, brassy characters and fresh tangy acidity. Finishes al-dente, leafy firm. Past its prime. Now - past - 84 points

Medium deep brassy colour. Quite oxidised and over developed with fresh amontillado tobacco aromas with hint of varnish. Still a fragment of fruit sweetness and integrated acidity. Drinkable but really past. 13% Alc 80 points – Past
