Wednesday, April 26, 2017 - Miscellaneous Wines from a France Trip-Burgundy, Alsace, and Paris; 4/20/2017-4/29/2017: Deep yellow color. At first when it was cold, petrol, herbs, and a very lean, lemony acidic core. As it warmed and opened, the typical dried peach came up as well as a bit of almond, and it had medium body. The most extraordinary thing was the unbelievable minerality and drive, which no doubt has carried this wine forward for 40+ years. Late return of petrol and perfume reminds you that this is old Riesling. This is an essence of dry Riesling structure after the fat falls away. Not for everyone, but I adored this ancient bottle which had been superbly stored.
