[TN] Bandol and MC Riesling
I've been remiss in keeping up with some of wines we've recently opened.
Over a few nights, we had with dinner: 1998 La Bastide Blanche Bandol Cuvée Fontanéou nose: brambly black fruits, earth, slightly medicinal/Brett palate: medium body, high acidity, fine tannins, medicinal finish Not the most complex or compelling Bandol of my experience, but a very respectable wine which went quite well with lamb and, later, with pizza. With a Saturday dinner of roast chicken and risotto Milanese, I opened: 2008 Muller-Catoir Riesling Trocken nose: slight minerality, a hint of peach and lemon palate: crisp, balanced, stone fruit and citrus Once again, I am impressed with the versatility and food-friendliness of Riesling and this has to be one of the best Trockens of my experience for its nicely fruity character and balanced acidity. I haven't had too many '08 Rieslings yet, but those I have had have impressed. Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |

Never seen the MC dry Riesling. I actually drink more "other grapes" from MC, but the Riesling can be stunning./ |
