With various meals over the weekend:
2004 Ridge Lytton Springs nose: pencil lead, brambly berries palate: well structured with good acids, still quite primaryNo hurry on this wine! We opened this up as a birth year wine for Andrew on his 8th birthday.
2008 Pinon Vouvray Tradition nose: quince and green apple, slightly honeyed palate: off-dry, balanced acidityLess racy than it was a year ago, but still lovely.
2011 Dr. Loosen "Dr. L" Riesling QbA nose: peach, petrol palate: on the sweetish side of off-dry, just enough acidA bit simple (no surprise) but a pleasant quaffer.
