3rd and final Bohn bottle. ✨ Magical aged Riesling. Glad we saved the best for last! Subtle petrol fragrance, strong acidity, dried apricot, golden raisin, almond, sherry. Quite complex. I’ve never had a Riesling quite like this. It was great with lemon-Parmesan risotto, crispy mushrooms, and balsamic chicken. 13.5% abv, lager-colored.

Apr 22nd, 2020Was handed this after it had been out for a day, still had some things to say for itself. Compared to Pearl Morissette’s riesling, although this is a more airy nose. Causes a ruckus on the palate, is both delicious and disturbing. Upsets the notion of what riesling oughta be “like” which is exciting. Acidity and alcohol are off the range, subdued aromatics. Feels cold even if it’s warm. It’s pretty fuckin spectacular and flavors don’t begin to tell the story so I won’t bother. It’s electrifying, and I really want to try it freshly opened. I’m in a bind, you see.
