Georg Breuer - Vertical Riesling Nonnenberg 2001,2006-2018 + X (@Private location): *** brief not from vertical tasting *** Glass: Gabriel Standard Popped and poured. Clear, deep orange glowing color. Very dense and deep nose with lots of zests, honey and botrytis. Beautiful Singerriedel with lots of extract, energy and depth. 13,5% abv. Zesty, smoked meat, great mineral core, very long. This bottle was maybe not 100% perfect and at its full peak. Still a wonderful experience! 95

Quite inscrutable tonight. Starts off very subdued with the fruit clipped and a bitter note, but over 2 hrs added some more depth and texture, touch of exotic fruit notes. Never quite opened for us. Didn't read like a '97 to me.

Austrian and Spanish Wines on the Fino patio (Fino Restaurant, Austin, Texas): The favorite of the flight, most f our tasters liked the balance, citrus, stone, and fresh-mowed grass initially on the palate. Some, however, were put off by benzene and motor oil notes, a Riesling characteristic that can be off-putting to the sensitive. Quite complex, flavors ranged from Roquefort and hazelnut, peanut and chalk, to roasted peach with Indian spices and fresh herbs (slight thai basil), honeysuckle, and fruit tart.

The Mike Grammer Tour Comes to Jersey City, 12 bottles, 6 people (Jersey City, NJ): Loads of petrol, more than the Kerpen. Okay.
