Best bottle out of a very questionable cheap wine batch. Salty and advanced. Not bad, but not good.

Oct 31st, 2019Some spritz, tartarate crystals, deep dark yellow. Nose was very very candied, pineapple, petrol, chamomile, musky - perhaps a touch of TCA? Palate seemed to agree. It was flat, bitter, short, with strong acidity. After 3 hours, the nose still maintains. It's colder than before, so the muskiness seemed to be masked. Palate was better as the fruit was accentuated by the lower temperature, though still short. As it warmed up, you could really tell that it was quite developed. Another meh riesling for the night.
