Tonight's late dinner was accompanied by a bottle of:
2006 Schloss Vollrads QbA Riesling (10.5% ABV) nose: petrol, minerals palate: soft, ripe peach fruit, off-dry, light bodyAfter the remains of last night's Quenard Vin de Savoie, this wine appeared less dry and crisp than it might otherwise have seemed. This was recommended to me by Salil as one of the drier '06 QbAs and it probably is, but the ripeness of the vintage does lessen the crispness of the wine and that's a shame. Still, a nice summer sipper.
