Grand Cru Sommerberg Vendanges Tardives Riesling
Sommerberg, Katzenthal, Alsace, France
This capped off a Tuscan red tasting dinner that went by too fast to really take any notes (the 2019 Tenuta Colonna Bolgheri Superiore and 2016 Tenuta Di Sesta Brunello were standouts). This freakin rocks, not super sweet but with such richness and complexity. Sneaky zingy acids buoy it all up. Ridiculous finish. Wowza.

Had to have something with a pecan-kumquat tart, and although it was too young by a decade, it fit the bill. Tastes as expected, if a little apricot heavy right now.
