Monday, August 29, 2016 - Chicagoer Rieslingfeier (Chicago, IL): Ludwig Balz collection. Insane. Absolutely insane. The colour of motor oil, but this is so fresh and alive it's stunning. Certainly a fair bit of that caramelized maple flavour here, but it's the freshness that is so amazing. On top of that, there's this crazy streak of acidity that runs through this, and gives cut to what is still a very, very sweet (and old) bottle of riesling. Perhaps once-in-a-lifetime, but ever so worth it.
