93 Points

Friday, May 26, 2023 - Pulled this bottle because the capsule was pushed up slightly. Cork was a bit stuck, needed the Ah So opener to get it out, but otherwise in good shape. A distinct maple syrup note on the cork, from whatever seepage there was probably years ago, but the wine is in great shape, and exquisite.

Good color, showing medium hay, though turns a light honey with air time; nose is classic aged Austrian riesling, hint of petrol; rich, almost unctuous on the palate, beautifully flavored, lush aged riesling fruit coats the mouth, has some viscosity and weight, explosive umami through the long finish, turning more saline and a little orange peel at the end. Would make a brilliant thanksgiving wine.
