    October 24, 2014 - Tuesdays with Salil: Perfect bottle - the wine is barely dark yellow which is amazing at this age. opened with kerosine and pine, but that blew off to reveal more leaves and apple. high acidity and bit light on the fruit - which is expected from the vintage. zesty, tart apple dominates, with a feeling of autumnal leaves following, with time - a bit of spearmint. Kabinett level of sweetness and weight. No botrytis notes. Long finish. This was a true pleasure. Thanks Salil!

    October 21, 2014 - Big Game Rieslings (Count's place, NY): A fantastic Riesling, totally seamless, at peak, and really compelling to sit down with and follow over a few hours. There's great complexity here, a fragrance that combines sweet citrus fruits, honeycomb and smoky aromas with higher toned herbal and wintergreen notes (both of us commented that this smelled more like a Ruwer or Saar wine than a middle Mosel), and a palate presence that's incredibly light and airy with all the layers of flavour coming together very elegantly with barely any sense of weight. There's just a faint hint of sweetness here - less than most Kabinett - and plenty of acidity that keeps it impeccably balanced. This is a real winner.
