Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 6, 2015 - Brunch at Formento's (Chicago, IL): #16-91, 8% abv. This had a slightly advanced colour (you'd think, by now, I'd get used to seeing that in older riesling), but the tinge of green in the gold was promising. The nose initially was all gasoline (or whatever that old riesling smell is), giving way to cooked pineapple and green herbs. The palate is definitely Spaetlese in sweetness, and not overwrought at all. It's simultaneously powerful and elegant -- absolutely graceful and silky. Racy green-apple acidity to drive everything home. What a Spaetlese...
