Nick A's Pomerol Part 2 (67 Pall Mall, London): A treat at the end of the evening, absolutely in-character as a joyous fully mature Riesling. The nose has a charming torn tarragon leaf character and a touch of butter mintoe, palate not that sweet in the grand scheme of things. Lovely.

Orange in colour and whilst there are alluring aromatics ( whiff of super unleaded meets seville orange - in a balanced and good way!), nothing prepares one for the narcotic experience on the mid-palate. It's full bodied, viscous, fresh, there's serious concentration, huge scale and persistence showing through in textural layers that cascade, on and on. It's sweet but its savoury and the is a complex citrus dance that tantalises and teases. Bravo. Not officially in the vote for WOTN fortunately for those preceding. A real treat unlikely to be revisited. From Zalto.

Pomerol, part 2 (67 Pall Mall): Star-bright mid orange - very pretty. Bright on the nose, too, and delicate, with tangerine, saffron and cedar. Easy and elegant on the palate, with an interesting balance between richer spongecake flavours and the tartness of lime cordial. After a few minutes in the glass a strong note on slightly underripe mango developed - delicious. Lingering finish, too. A lovely wine!

Online Blind Tasting #11: *** Note is based on 2x0,1l bottles filled about 2 days before the tasting from 0,75l bottle *** Glass: Zalto Universal Clear, glowing deep golden color with amber hue. Clean, medium+ intense, fully developing nose. Classic Grünhaus / Ruwer. Candied fruit, cassis, elder, woodruff and slate. Deep and complex. On the palate very lean, precise and elegant. Never fat or cloying. Sweetness is perfectly balanced by the high, racy acidity. Only 7,5% abv. Cassis, candied fruit and exotic fruit, beautiful mineral core. Very good pressure and tension, very dense and balanced. Very long, elegant and fruity finish. Full peak, but this bottle would have stayed on this level for several more years. Way better than my last bottle! 93

Nick's Pomerol Part II (67 Pall Mall, London): An unscheduled Auslese to perfectly bookend a decadent Pomerol themed dinner, thanks Nick.

Nice one and great form for its age. I found this a little too light but that was good so I could drink the whole bottle on my own!
