A nice dinner at the Palace with some close friends and excellent wines.
A new producer for me, and it was a pretty good blend of the Alsace and German Riesling style. Off-dry but rich and oily.
So many excellent wines here, but I think the Diamond Creek and the L'Eglise Clinet were the winners here. The Arlaud was excellent as well, but very young and needs a decade. The seavey was a small taste from a nearby generous table.
The Weimer was interesting, but ultimately the Rieussec was better balanced and had more complexity and at a better price. Of note, this had more of a nose when I initially opened it at home before the dinner, though whether that was because I was fresher or because the wine was fresher is unclear. Either way, excellent wine.

Oily petrol, minerally; palate is off-dry, rich, oily, white fruit; medium length finish. Very nice, and it has character. 89-90
