  "Simple" Midweek Dinner - Variety is the Spice of Life (Giant Garoupa Restaurant): This was absolutely lovely - clearly the WOTN for all of us at the table. A orange-gold colour, almost shading into amber told of quite a bit of age. It had a beautifully developed nose as well. Clearly middle mosel, it showed gentle honeyed notes, white flowers, a touch of nectarine and sweet red apple aromas spiked with a little touch of botrytis. Lovely, and the palate, which was at a beautiful place just now, took off just where the nose left off. With each sip, it melted across the mouth with a very Bernkastel spectrum of vanilla bean flavours, some fig, red apple flesh, some pear, all nicely integrated and held in lovely focus. The wine was clearly from a warm year with its ripe tones - the midpalate was almost edged with a tropical pineapple hint - but it was always beautifully balanced and perfectly poised so that it was glowing with a natural sweetness that was always pleasant but never cloying. Lovely finish as well, with a satisfying length that showed a bit of age in its metally mineral tail. Enchanting stuff. We caught this at the perfect time, and it was delicious. Great pairing with a steamed fish in soy sauce and garlic.
