Remarkable wine from a difficult year. 14% R.S., abv 8.8%, luscious, with an incredible acidic backbone that cuts through all the R.S. and cleanses the palate for the next sip. All the Riesling and botrytis flavors are here, as is the potential to age for a long, long time. 30+ years.

Leaking cork but no obvious effect on the wine. Beautifully aromatic with just a hint of petrol. Nice acidity with a mineral edge. Glad we have another bottle because this wine will go quite awhile yet. The best FLX producers are making wines that will age a long time.

Do you have favorite online sites to order from? I use wine.com but often by the time a wine is listed in Wine Spectator they're sold out. We also read Decanter but they seem to be mostly available in the U.K. Any sources you're willing to share? We're a couple of hours each from Phillie and NYC so any good outlets within that radius would be helpful too. Thanks.
