Default TN: Morey St Denis and a Maximin Grünhäuser Qba

Tuesday Betsy made some slow-cooked duck legs, I opened a 2000 Lignier-Michelot
"Chenevery" Morey St. Denis 1er Cru. Rich color, with dark fruit and a little
damp earth on the nose. Fairly full sensation in the mouth, with black cherry
fruit and medium acidity. Tasty but maybe a little simple. But today after a
night in bottle, remnants had a spiciness and a depth of flavor I didn't notice
last night, plus more pronounced earth and even a note of smoked meat. Pretty
tasty. I have one more, will sock away for a few years. I don't really have
much MSD experience, didn't really know what to expect, but a really nice wine.
B+/A-

The last glass or two of the MSD was consumed tonight with a dinner of assorted
leftovers. I found myself still hungry a couple hours later, and succumbed to
my weakness of salty snacks. Along with the SunChips ® , I had a glass (well,
two) of the 2001 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Riesling Qba
(Mosel-Saar-Ruwer). Lime and peach fruit, clear slatey minerality, great
balance of sweetness and acidity. .B+
..
Grade disclaimer: I'm a pretty 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.
