We bookended the weekend yesterday with another old'ish bottle of wine, this time from the Nahe Valley in Germany, a wonderful 2004 vintage Riesling Spatlese by Donnhoff. These really are special wines, classic aromas of lychees and petrol, fresh as a daisy, and a deep golden hue they seem sweet but finish dry with flavours of apricots and honey. The other benefit to them is that (although you wouldn't know it) they only come in at 8% ABV, the perfect Sunday lunch wine, this one was matched with roast chicken and salad, no dozing off in front of the telly for us later in the day!
