Second Sunday Group: Aged Alsatian Riesling Vendange Tardive (Neil's): Double blind. Peach and honey aromas turn to spice and apple with honeyed overtones. Really nice fruit on the palate, with a bit of spice in the finish. Balanced. Maybe just slightly straightforward compared to some of the others. 90-91 pts.
My #7, Domino's #5 Group #6, 73 pts

Clear, light gold in the glass. Aromas of peach, white flowers, apricot and almond, with a strong and persistent petrol note. On the palate, surprisingly light and beautifully integrated, with good acidity balancing only mild sweetness. An excellent accompaniment to simple seared scallops and the earthy, nutty flavors of roasted Jerusalem artichokes (the latter very fresh thanks to Lynn's garden). Once again, the beauty of aged riesling!
