Monday, August 29, 2016 - Chicagoer Rieslingfeier (Chicago, IL): Missed the AP on this one too (I'm getting sloppy). There's a lot of spritz on this bottle, but the reduction wasn't as prominent as on the 2004 WS Spätlese that I had two days ago. White fruited, this is quite restrained and demure at the moment, it seems to be coiled very tightly at the moment. It's still got some crazy acids and just the right amount of sweetness for balance. At the end of the day, there's definitely a lot of good material, but I'd give this some time.

I've had off-vintage Kabinett 40 years after the fact that are spectacular (1973 WS), so I don't think there's really any appropriate window anyone could realistically put on these wines.
