Potpourri of (Mostly) Old World Riesling (Los Gatos, California): Deep yellow. Some petrol, black tea, and peach on the nose. Medium weight. Slightly loose, glycerine feel, just off dry, plenty of soil, ripe melon, and rising citrus on the finish. Mature, very interesting mix of flavors.

Medium(+) golden, with a hint of copper, not oxidized (see my earlier TN). Lemon, honey, pear, lemon rind, almonds, pepper. Dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol 13.5% abv, medium(+) body. Viscous silky texture, unctuous mouthfeel. Enormous length, with rich yet well-defined finish. Superb.
I note significant bottle variation comparing my last 3 TN on this delectable wine.

Amber-copper color, slightly oxidized. Petrole, honey, apricot, peach, orange bitters, lemon rind, almonds, sweet pice, white pepper. Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium alcohol 13.5% abv, medium(+) body. Super slick viscous texture, rich mouthfeel. Very good length with bright finish with sherry notes. With air it develops complex spicy madeira-like flavors Excellent, super enjoyable.

Amber (apple juice) color, slightly oxidized. Honey, pear, orange bitters, lemon rind, almonds, pepper. Dry, medium (+)-high acidity, medium alcohol 13.5% abv, medium(+) body. Viscous texture, rich mouthfeel.
Good length, bright finish with Sherry influence.
Evolves slowly into more and more complex spicy flavors during night.
