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.
