Austrian Estate Visits; 9/13/2023-9/15/2023 (In and around the Wachau valley): This had also been opened 2 days ago. Full yellow. Musky peach aromas. Similar weight and roundness as the 2022, but the attack is sweeter. Low pitched stone fruit, secondary flavors, nice earth running through it, and a gently fading finish. Lovely understated mature Riesling.

Wedding ring golden. Scents somewhere between baked lemon and yellow apples. Ever so slightly smokey too. Very little petroleum, but it might be detected if you're sensitive to that sort of stuff. In the mouth it is very linear and understated. The fruit does not make itself noticed so much, and fades a bit through the tasting curve. A little bit shorter than I have come to expect from this address. My suspicion is that it is past its prime, but there's always bottle variation to take into account. (Just about very good, so 85 is right.)

Taste of grapefruit and cat's pee. Very austere and brutal. Hardly improves with air.
