Busy, Busy, Busy...

I've been really busy lately and will be coming up again, so here we go...

1971 Weingut Norbert Eser Oestricher Lenchen Riesling Auslese, Rheingau, Germany was stunning... light gold in color with very high viscosity. Appearing almost completely dry on the palate, this wine has incredible length and purity. A very fat, rich wine that was drinking at its peak. Awesome stuff right here... just a hint of botrytis and honeysuckle-coated almonds. Really amazing... Also the 2002 Numanthia Termes, Taittinger Brut Rose, 2006 Dr. Thannisch Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Kabinett, and 2006 Rudi Pichler Gruner Veltliner Hochrain Federspiel. The Dr. Thannisch and Rudi Pichler were at opposite ends of the spectrum... Rudi- bone dry and incredible pepper... Dr. Thannisch - piercing acid and beautiful.
