  Good wines and fun times as Nicos returns to New York. (La Fonda Del Sol): Another bottle Nicos hand-carried with him from London. A blend of Riesling and Scheurebe, it's still alive and offers plenty of pleasure, though is certainly past peak and no longer has the unctuousness or sweetness one would expect from a beerenauslese. It shows a typical desiccated stone fruit profile one would expect from a Riesling at this age, with guava and passion fruit from the Scheurebe. With air a pleasant kumquat note arose. Nice acid structure to balance out what seems like light auslese sweetness at this stage. The wine fades a bit at the back and the fruit lacks freshness and intensity at this stage, but it's always nice to try these rare old oddities and this is showing pleasantly. Solid B+.
