Lunch at The Eight in Macau.
2013 Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Großes Gewächs trocken - flinty on the nose, with good ripeness on the palate but still good acidity on the back. More like a French riesling than your average German off-dry riesling.
1971 Christoffel Berres Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese - decanted just prior to serving. Lots of Manuka honey in the nose, very fragrant, with marmalade notes, a little whiff of old, musty nose... at the same time rich and nutty. Good depth of flavors on the palate, but a little short.
1978 Mouton-Rothschild - decanted and served right away. Just 15 minutes later, the wine showed beautiful nose with classic smoke and pencil lead. The palate was a little short at first, but improved with time.
