  AP#21: The Incredible Lightness of Riesling.
  From a well cellared bottle with a perfect fill.
  Initially *super* smoky with the characterstic wood spice that great old riesling acquires.
  Tons of petrol on the nose and palate persisted throughout, while with time, a lovely playful, slightly tart and baked green apple emerged on the mid-palate. Simultaneously, the wine became more linear and yet more subtle with notes of light cinnamon spice. The mouthfeel was also excellent, starting out unctuous and weighty but, with air, became light and clean, a nice match to the finish which was incredibly clear and pure. A true joy to drink. Most impressive in its subtly and delicacy rather than power.

  East Village Riesling Extravaganza (New York): AP #142-4-72. Beautiful deep golden colour. Has an almost sherried note initially that blows off with air to reveal beautiful minty, herbal and tobacco aromas mingled with baked peach and apple flavours. Medium bodied, subtle and elegant in the mouth with more baked apple and peach layered with mint, green herbs and honey flavours. This got better and better with air as some acidity emerged to add lift and the fruit flavours seemed to gain in weight and intensity. Finishes a little light, but an amazing wine to sit down with and explore.
