  So it was an ‘11 and it was compromised of some sort. No seepage on the cork, but a touch of”mold”on the bottom third(inside bottle side) . By way of the nose couldn’t really tell it was off since it was throwing some petrol notes,although a bit muted. On the palate though it verified that it was past due or tainted. Color was a golden yellow and the acidity was gone on the palate too.

  The 1970 vines. Very crisp and very tight. Linear. Crunchy acidity.

  Surprisingly pungent and unforgiving explosiveness. This one doesn't back down, being the most bone-dry Riesling I've had yet. Sour oranges and potent citrus kiss the tongue, and a nose of vinyl and petrol make this a mind-blowing, thoughtful wine.
  
  Tasted with winemaker Chris Williams on 3 separate occasions, each time confirming just how great this wine is!
