Default [TN] '06 Vollrads QbA

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 body

After 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.
