Boundary Breaks Vineyard
No. 110 grand Finger Lakes Riesling
Finger Lakes, New York, USA
Go Celtics, Semi-Finals Game 7! Giving this bottle some air, notes soon...
Inaugural release. This bottle is made from late harvested grapes, similar to how you'd make a sweeter style wine, but they made a very dry style instead.
Color is very light gold, similar to what I'd expect in Condrieu (Viognier).
Nose has light Trimethyl Dihydronapthalene notes, wet slate, oxidized apple.
Palate is not giving up much (similar to the point spread on this evening's game), lightly astringent green apple, maybe candle wax(?), green apple skin. Very likely I'll have a 24hr Update.
(Note to future self, don't touch the rest of the bottles for at least 5-7 years.)
24hr Update: Notes same as above, this bottle is tight and needs time, interesting citrus (lemon) pith component on the palate today.

A dry Riesling made from grapes usually for ice wine. Balanced very well at this high alcohol content for a Riesling. Raisin and apple nose with light rubber. On the palate it’s crispy yet complex, enough acidity. Powerful aftertaste. Still too young at the moment. Give it five to ten years and open it on an important occasion.
