Dinner at Hermosa (Chicago, IL): #31-72. Remarkably fresh and vibrant for a 50+ year old riesling. There are classic notes of petrol and stones here, and lots of botrytis and apricot tones. Very rich and thick on the palate as well as far more sweetness than I would expect for an Auslese of this era. A fantastic showing of a fully mature riesling.

A Vosne-Romanée Night: Bought at the winery. Most guessed spätlese. Very little sweetness left, lack complexity and concentration. Very disappointing.
