An initial burst of sulfur blew off with time, so open this bottle well in advance. This one is crisp, but it’s less laser beam and more massaging shower head. A touch of diesel joins the apple pie to add richness, and the long finish is dotted with Mosel minerality. Either open it and wait a few hours to drink, or wait a few years to drink and open it. I’d go with the latter. (E.D.)
