Default [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.
