  A slightly tired bottle. Lots of very mature notes, and not as tense as this should be. Still quite drinkable, but disappointing given expectations.

  An engaging wine given its combination of acidity and aged sweetness. Yet somewhat disappointing in this iteration as the whole was undifferentiated

  Miscellaneous Wines from a France Trip-Burgundy, Alsace, and Paris; 4/20/2017-4/29/2017: Deep yellow color. At first when it was cold, petrol, herbs, and a very lean, lemony acidic core. As it warmed and opened, the typical dried peach came up as well as a bit of almond, and it had medium body. The most extraordinary thing was the unbelievable minerality and drive, which no doubt has carried this wine forward for 40+ years. Late return of petrol and perfume reminds you that this is old Riesling. This is an essence of dry Riesling structure after the fat falls away. Not for everyone, but I adored this ancient bottle which had been superbly stored.

  The darkest wine of the tasting. Medium expressive nose displaying ripe yellow fruit, apricot, dry apricot, burnt sugar, tea and celery. There is a vegetal note. Good concentration, good mineral presence, bright acidity and long finish with a hint of burnt sugar as the end note. Quite enjoyable.

  At Everest in Chicago. The sommelier decanted this wine and it showed an incredible golden/amber/orange cool in the decanter. Initially quite tight on the nose. A bit of air awakens this beauty from its slumber. Really indescribable aromatics that include both sweet and savory overtones. A wine one could smell for hours before taking a sip--each time you go back there is something even more inviting. When you drink this wine it's immediately evident that it's a wine of incredible class and breed. Not a single facet out of balance. Words again fail to describe flavors and textures that seemingly only time can provide. I predicted at the initial pour that the last sip would be these best, and it was try. This wine needs plenty of air to show it's best, and well stored bottles should continue to provide great enjoyment for many years.
