Very nice example of properly aged Riesling, even under screw cap. It has everything it needs, visible minerality, properly aged petroleum tones and combination of fruit and minerality in taste. It is funny as on the back label the recommendation is to drink it within 1 year of purchase and actually the wine grew to its perfection today:)
