Community Tasting Notes 6

  October 10, 2020 - Saturday riesling and farewell (Chicago, IL): The cork fell in the moment I touched it. But no matter, the juice itself was brilliant -- this was perhaps the best bottle of the 1976 lot I bought those few years back. The nose does have a little funk, but that did seem to dissipate after some air (or maybe it was corked and didn't show it, like the first bottle of this I opened). In any case, this is opulent, rich, and elegant, with generous sweetness and some dried stone fruit flavours, as well as abundant acidity. There's a herbal tinge here that adds quite a bit of complexity as well. Fully mature, I would not wait on this any longer.

  June 10, 2018 - Old German Riesling et al. (Chicago, IL): #22-77. Corked and oxidized. Get all that bad karma out of the way in a single bottle, I hope.

  May 12, 2017 - drunk the day BPT had her fatal cardiac arrest at the MoCOOl tasting, so it was passed around while I was busy elsewhere. No note. My opening sniff suggested that it was OTH, but never revisited or got any information.

  April 6, 2017 - Salil does Chicago 3; 4/6/2017-4/8/2017 (Chicago, IL): #22-77. This was my favourite of the triplet (although it makes sense since this is actually the single fuder wine). In any case, it didn't open out that way -- it seemed a little ornery to begin with, though the nose showed some very pretty orange and honeyed scents. The palate was the fullest and fleshiest of the three, and the most balanced as well. Lovely sweet stone fruit and minerality here. This showed a fair bit of botrytis as well. Two days later, I revisted the leftovers, and it turns out that this bottle was in fact corked. None of us picked up on it the first night.
