We're only making plans for Nigl

That sounds unusually bad. Provenance?originally posted by Rahsaan:
Last night's bottle of the 98 Nigl Piri Riesling was showing worse than the one at your house and was in the realm of generic aging simple golden sour wine.
Just general thoughts on my views:
The white Munjabel was just delicious and incredibly interesting. It also turned brown and reminded me a lot of a Hefeweitzen the next day (I put it in the fridge when I got home). Interesting science experiments, those wines are - this one happened to be wildly successful, at least for a few hours.
The red Munjabel was nice, but I'd agree with short and far less interesting. It also turned brown the next day.
I didn't think the Savinierres smelled like Asparagus, but I didn't like it either.
Opening the Vollenweider was a mistake.
The Occhipinti was quite nice, the Otheguy was delicious.

Bill Mayer. But purchased recently. Same as the other 98 Piri that showed better at Thor's house.

Bill's storage may not be quite perfect. It's not terrible, but at one time it was subject to some temperature variation. I would not be surprised to learn that 10 years on bottles purchased on release and stored better were showing younger.
I can see that. And I think Steve Timko reported significant variability on 99 Nigls recently purchased from Bill.
