Old German Riesling et al. (Chicago, IL): #16-84. The cork on this fell into the bottle on its own accord after I had taken the capsule off. Initially, this was very stinky, and I had some worries with TCA, but it actually turned out that it was only bottle funk. Tons of petrol on the nose here, with a light smokiness too. The palate only shows a hint of sweetness at this point. There's a rounded creaminess on the palate here that is quite interesting as well, but at the end of the day, where I was expecting fireworks, I think this bottle just didn't make it to 35 years.
