Past prime but still interesting. Medium gold coloration, nice aromatics, a little hollow on the palate with good acidity. Very dry. With food, (Indian in this case) the secondary and tertiary components are emphasized and the lack of fruit masked.

A dry-style Riesling; fantastic deep golden color. On the nose; a perfect blend of green apple, leather, and spice with a strong backbone of petrol. The dryness shows a bit more of sour elements than I prefer, but I think that this is just the style, and by no means a flaw. I don’t think this will be improving going forward, but I expect that it will remain in this peak window into 2017 before it ever begins to enter into a slow decline.
