  34th birthday wine at Noreetuh in NYC. Nose is smokey and petrol-y. Palate is a bit flat—almost all the acidity is gone but the traditional Riesling flavors are there. Peaches, hints of pineapple, slight flinty note. It’s just a little over the hill now unfortunately.

  $67 restaurant list price. Perfectly stored since release. Light, youthful color. Initially, a whiff of petrol, which faded quickly into the backround as an intriguing smokiness stepped in. This is a beautiful, dry Riesling. I couldn't get my nose out of the glass - the complex aromas kept changing and evolving, revealing another layer every few minutes, it seemed. Excellent balance on the palate, with a highish acid level / tension contributing to the overall impression of youth / freshness. Based upon its color, acid level and balance, I'd assume this wine could go on many more years, though I feel it's showing as well now as it ever will... Again, note to self: cellar more Riesling (!)
