Very smoky nose with some passionfruit. Medium body, lacking depth, acid and interest. Okay, but hard to get excited about.
86/100

The last few vintages of Seppelt Drumborg I feel will go the distance. Leo Buring Leonay has a very good track record and I've had some very good experiences with older ones. Petaluma is another big name that I'm growing disillusioned with over recent vintages. Orlando/Jacob's Creek Steingarten has been very good some years but some vintages are prone to falling over. There are others that I think might make a name for themselves, but I either haven't tried enough old ones or they are new and don't have the track record to be sure.
German Riesling is definitely a growing % of my cellar though.
