October 10, 2020 - Saturday riesling and farewell (Chicago, IL): A significantly different wine compared to the 2018. They share the same mineral and acidity structure, but where the 2018 has fruit to put on that skeleton, the 2017 is a barebones exposition of the raw structural power of riesling. It's nowhere as fruit forward, and perhaps even slightly austere, and shows more a herbal, green style than the tropical, voluptuous younger sibling. Impressive for its stature, but I prefer having the flesh (and fat) on the skeleton, and give my nod to the 2018.
