Aged riesling bouquet. Lovely balance and marvellous length. Excellent acidity. Riesling through and through. Reminded of a 1937 riesling auslese tasted in the '80's. Probably the nearest you will get of a 19th century Old Brown Hock. Will last for decades if properly cellared but probably not improve.

A farewell to Tooch (Chicago, IL): From half-bottle. It's clearly late harvest riesling from the fruit profile and acidity, but the floral elements on this wine are completely off the charts. This is definitely dessert-level sweetness too, and there's the requisite acidity to balance it out. There's a slightly different flavour profile than I'm used to (mostly it's the florals), but this could probably hold its own against its fair share of Mosel producers.

I'm not very fond of sweet wines, but Sauternes, Tokaj, PX Sherry, Portos or this nice Riesling from the Antipodes are very special wines...
