Excessibe Rhone and Riesling night (St. Marks Place Grand Sich, NY): This came across just a bit faded - the citrus and apple flavours are very gentle and delicate, but also lacking that vibrancy and freshness I usually expect from von Schubert. It's very tertiary in flavour (moreso than the '73 Prum Kabinett that was poured before!) with creamy, smoky, and hay notes, and while it's quite complex, it seems to be missing a gear or two on the palate in terms of freshness and focus.

They don't make 'em like they used to (New York City, NY): #17-91. Seems tired and worn out. Muted everything except acid. There are a few slight traces of green apples, but that's pretty much it.

My bottle. Golden but dumb, nice zip on palate but somewhat dumb and monolithic. See my note from day 2 for more detail - it didn't change much.

A weekend of Jacky Truchot; 1/28/2006-1/29/2006 (Washington DC): Cut lime and some mineral nose. A little petrol, but not pleasant kind. Limeade, nice sucrosity. Complex, but unfocused.
