this late-release gg is a stunning showcase of how just a few years of bottle age impact a dry, richly concentrated riesling. yellow peach and grapefruit tones shine brightly still, but are glazed by layers of slick, penetrating minerals. while moderate in alcohol, it feels dense and creamy on the palate. the finish meanders almost endlessly, punctuated playfully by strikes of lemon-lime acidity. it's singing now, but should improve till at least 2020.
