Another lost treasure from my cellar. This wine needed its time after opening to shown up, initailly quite closed, after 24 hours under vacuum opened up. Also initially used Riesling glass was not very good for the wine, Montrachet glass prooved to be much better for the nose despite the wine being unoaked.
