Riesling

Mikhail was in town, so Jared and I joined him at Salil's, who made another delicious dinner. All wines were pop and pour.

  Dark amber color. Lovely botrytis and sweet dried apricot nose. Complex aged dried apricots in the mouth with some oxidation. Past its prime, but still alive. My last bottle. :(

  Perhaps the worst nose I've ever smelled of a wine that wasn't obviously flawed. Not as horrible in the mouth, but why torture oneself?

Another great evening with good friends, good food, and good wines.
