Pretty nose of petrol / rubber tire. Strong acidity on the palate; shows a dark herbal note in the middle which seems to pop up out of the saline, mineral notes that carry this. I picked up a waxy, floral note on the backside with air. Excellent

Pizza and wines @ Salil's (Vernon, CT): White wine of the night for me. So intense, lively and chalky. Searingly dry and incisive but never austere. The citrus pith, peach and rock dust notes linger on the lip-smackingly bright finish. I could drink a lot of this.

Pizza night with Austrians and random reds: Fantastic stuff. This is in a great place right now - there are layers of mature baked apple, peach, and other orchard fruit flavours with burnished tinges, and smoky and mineral accents around the fruit that keep getting more complex and layered with air, with all the flavours coming together really seamlessly on the palate. Amazing depth and complexity here with powerful acids beneath the bright fruit, and a remarkably long finish.
Light golden. Peach, herbs, and petrol. Gorgeous glycerine texture. Completely dry, stone fruit and lemon, ginger, and tea. Rising finish full of shimmering acidity and distilled beverage high tones-really penetrating and powerful. Brilliant wine, that's about all I can say.
If you want to know what it is that the Brits call "petrol" in riesling, then open this, which is just about textbook petrol all around. It's got deep-pitched apply fruit to go along with that and tastes bone-dry with sharp acids cutting like a samurai sword. Unsurprisingly the fruit gets much more open-knit and generous as it warms up--without losing precision--and picking up a craggy stoniness, too.
