August 16, 2009 - From a pristine bottle. Cork in nice condition for 38 years. Gorgeous light-orange color. This started out with a succulent smokiness that persisted over the course of about 2 hours. This became intertwined with some lavender, thyme and mint. Still had some nice underlying riesling fruit--mainly dried apricots and apple at this point. Gentle minerality. Could've drank the whole bottle as the wine became more and more interesting and dynamic. Perfect with the Wienerschnitzel at Spago!
