Réserve Alsace Riesling

I wish all Riesling producers used screw cap. This is pretty tired and washed out. Not much life or enjoyment left in this sadly. 😳

Pale lemon green; clear, medium intensity developing aromas of wet stone, blossom, white peach, lime. Dry, with high acidity, medium alcohol, medium body. On the palate, medium intensity flavors of lime, nectarine, wet stone, a hint of smoke and a bit of mushroom. Long finish, to drink now but has potential for further aging. Very good quality.

Classic classic classic.

White flower, wet stone, lime -- 09

Steely nose, giving way to a more delicate palate on the finish.

Delicate Alsatian Riesling. Bone-dry, pear, apple, zippy crispness. Great at cellar temperature. A very pure example. 2011 vintage

Green apple, white flower, and thyme on the nose. Mouthwatering acidity. Good now through 2020.

Unified spoils

At Le Schlossberg, Zellenberg with baeckeoffe. Expensive at 46€ but a very nice accompaniment to the main course. Great discussion with proprietress about how pitiful the US is today in its lack of leadership.

Väldigt gott till asiatiskt.
