Nose is really nice with that aged riesling thing; slight petrol, sweet and sour candy, kiwi and starfruit with a slight lactic note on the end. Palate is similar with ripe tropical fruits, green plums, more Now&Later candy, richness that is balanced by great acidity and a medium finish. Great choice with an octopus terrine with piquillo pepper.

UNP. A little spritzy to start but blew off. Color straw. Nose w apple pear and lychee. Swishing shows dense acid but spatlese (I think) sweetness that balances well leading to a tart apple pretty lengthy finish. Sipping masks the RS a little allowing the harmony to show and it seems more kabinett in weight with lighter mouthfeel. Very good and I plan to wait a while to circle back to this.

(Strub Niersteiner Brückchen Riesling Kabinett) ($18.00) CORE-LIST WINE. Again the best of these in many years. More flesh, more gloss and polish, more rondeur yet it’s also satisfyingly tough, not belly-rich, and with a lip-licking spring-oniony sweetness, sweet fish stock, lump crab; it’s like a liquid crab cake. +
