Neat how with age this turns into a dill monster but young it’s fresh and tons of apple, pear, and maybe some saline

Soft, quiet, trades time and air for a shy personality - only after the bubbles have long said goodbye. And they go quick. Most of the Riesling DNA is hidden underneath. For a couple days, I had a hard time finding something to grasp onto, but we got there.
At its peak, soft scented yellow apples and lemon.

Off the Riesling color wheel, I secretly hoped I'd spin a pour of glowing gold (instead of silver skinned pale hay). I did. Gold dress with sparkles too. Fragrant and rich and beautiful. Aromas of gun powder, flint, soapy apples, candied orange peel, and white jasmine. A fruity wine. Oxidized orchard fruits browning and softening by the minute. A little bit of sweet, a little bit of copper. There isn't a lot of autolyse, but you don't miss it, the way you might with Champagne.
