Default TN: Spatlese and lalande de Pomerol

Betsy was away for Sunday evening, I had leftovers and some 2004
Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese (Mosel-
Saar-Ruwer). Lime fruit with a little apple, good acidity, but broad
with a smooth texture. Acidity jumps to forefront, keeping it from
being too sweet. Good balance and depth. Very nice, B+

Monday I marinated some lamb chops in an onion/herb mixture, Betsy made
a beets and greens salad and potatoes when she got home. I opened the
1999 Chteau La Fleur de Boüard (Lalande de Pomerol). Big forward
ripe black fruit, oak vanilla and some espresso bean aromas. Still a
bit tannic,but with the rare chops that didn't bother me. Probably
another 3-4 years would do it some good, but if you're not tanninphobic
ok now. Another B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very 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. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
