Tuesday, November 26, 2013 - Tis the Season-Another Wedding Dinner (Range, San Francisco): Magnum (and a beautiful one at that). Light yellow. Surprisingly developed aromatically compared to the last time I had this with a full dose of petrol. Medium weight but great dry extract and intensity, and as before, no shortage of acidity. Like a primordial mix of all that is good in a bone dry Riesling, very difficult to pick out individual fruit elements. Our host opined that paradoxically, this was more open than recent bottles out of smaller formats; on the nose this was true, but by the end of the bottle, this was still pretty tight and relatively closed on the palate. Let's just say that there is still no rush to broach this all time classic.
