With a shrimp/orzo/spinach feta dish and a pear/avocado/greens salad,
the 2005 Gerard Boulay "Les Monts Damnes " Sancerre. Bigger riper version of Sancerre, mango and gooseberry. Despite big body, pretty good core of acidity. Some gunflint mineral notes make it through the fruit after awhile. Nice wine. B+/A- Ah, the romance of cork. I really think the reason I paid for the 1997 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spatlese and cellared it for 5 or 6 years (didn't buy on release) was so I could enjoy the stench of mildewed cardboard - romance!! However, the 2001 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Kabinett was a lovely wine. Nice counterpoint to a warm chicken salad (with peanut sauce and red and green peppers) served over rice. Really bracing acidity, racy as hell, but that's perfect for the food. Light petrol notes, clean lime and green apple fruit, loooooonnnnggg for a Kab. Precise, sprightly, clean, vivid. A- Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. * |
