Tasted Sunday, February 10, 2008 by jjclips2 with 651 views
Some close friends with rustic Creole food and hopefully great wine.
Served with a mix of apps, ranging from stuffed shrimp to andouille "corndogs" and fresh Alaskan oysters
Served with braised pork belly, smoked pork shoulder, and "pork 'n grits"
Served with a apple and pear tart with caramel sauce and ice cream
Food was great and wine was even better. Can't believe how good the '05 Larkmead was. To me, it was WOTN.

Acted as a nice aperitif. Clean and crisp, very light and refreshing with high acid citrus, minerals, and grass.

Shows moderately ripe stone fruit with medium body and acidity. Somewhat simple, expected more minerality, however it did show some on the nose. Nice balance of fruit and acid. Again acted as a nice aperitif.

France, Alsace
Liked just a bit more than the PBlanc. Showed nice minerality on the nose with slight petroleum and green apple. The palate is crisp with green fruits, citrus, and minerals. Light to medium body. Went nicely with the shrimp app as well as oysters.

2006 Weingut Pfeffingen Scheurebe Spätlese 85 Points
Germany, Pfalz
I'm not too sure I expected this to be as rich as it was. Sure it had a significant amount of residual sugar, which I expected, but the viscocity is unreal. Could probably pass this off as dessert wine. Nose of a great German riesilng with just a hint of grapefruit. The palate is of stone fruit, dried apricot, and glycerol. Overall a bit flabby, particularly what it was used for.
