Felt like something with good acidity and slightly more complex than Sauv Blanc in this extremely hot weather. Found this bottle in my wine fridge and it was good choice. I really enjoy bottle aged Rieslings like this one, especially if it has a bit of residual sugar, which otherwise could feel a bit juicy. I checked the blog and I tasted the same bottle 3 months ago in March 2013, the notes this time are slightly different so I put the ones above.
