  I didn't plan to age this 9 years, but here we are, and I'll be damned if it didn't turn out to be a lovely bottle of riesling. Notes of sugar cane (a bit reminiscent of pinot blanc), quinine (or at least what made me think of a G&T), citrus and a bit of petrol on the nose and palate. Lovely acidity and juicy mouthfeel, dry, yet still ample-fruited, absolutely food-friendly but also nicely quaffable on its on. Got this for just under $10 in a K&L special years ago –– what a bargain. Your well-stored bottle (the one of you that has the last remaining botttle in CT, anyways) should be fine for another year or two ... such is the virtue of riesling.

  Clean, light, and enjoyable. A dry, bistro quality wine likely to pair well with food. 86-87.
