2005 Vollenweider Wolfer Goldgrube Riesling Kabinett -
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Pale yellow-gold color. Bright nose of tropical fruit. Medium body.
In the mouth, bright peaches and citrus with a hint of sweetness in the finish.
At its peak. (92 points)
Dinner
Salil's Chicken Biryani and Lamb Kebobs. So tasty!
1983 Hermann J. Wiemer Riesling Bunch Select Late Harvest -
USA, New York, Finger Lakes, Seneca Lake
Dark amber color. Lovely botrytis and sweet dried apricot nose.
Complex aged dried apricots in the mouth with some oxidation.
Past its prime, but still alive. My last bottle. 🙁 (93 points)
