Description
Yet the very old wood (25 years and older) manages not to completely destroy the character of the grape, although the long time sitting there gently oxidizing certainly changes the feel of the wine. It has some old-wood nuances on the finish, a rounder feel and far less purity. There is a little bit of what feels like some tannic pop too.
The fine acidity nicely cuts through the wood, but you have to think about this before you say “Riesling.” Needless to say, this will be a controversial bottling, not a wine for everyone, but it certainly has some virtues, including freshness and structure. Call this a compromise score. Use it for a food pairing.
