WTN: I just love the way riesling ages

Rich golden yellow. Caramel and petrol nose with a hint of ripe peaches. Sumptuous sweetish midpalate that delivers everything he nose promises and then some with petrol, caramel, ripe peaches and balancing acidity. Long finish of sweet ripe fruit, mostly peaches and oranges with lingering notes of acidity and petrol.

I matched this wine up with panko fried fresh whitefish. Oh my, the fish was so fresh because I bought it today from our local farmers market that it had that sweet fish taste that just really matched up with the wine so nicely. Palate heaven!

Now the real question is: Do I have any more of this wine in my cellar? Yes, 1 bottle, to be saved for a special meal in the future.

Yes, I also dig the smokey golden stalks that emerge as riesling ages well.

Although I'm sure you knew you'd get someone asking where was the note on the aged wine?

Hi Rahsaan,

I never said this was an aged wine. I said I love the way it ages. However, I think this wine is starting to develop some nice secondary taste characteristics (like the caramel) that indicates it is aging nicely.
