Dinner at a private dining facility.
1988 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhauser Herrenberg Riesling Auslese - brought two bottles to start off dinner. Nice nose of orange marmalade, polyurethane, sweet on the nose with floral notes. Acidity was actually higher than expected, and this wasn't as sweet on the palate.
2001 Kracher Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese No. 9 Zwischen den Seen, from half-bottle - very sweet, rich, and nutty. Unctuous texture.
2007 Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée "3.14", en magnum - opened but not decanted at least 1½ hours before serving. Lots of eucalyptus, violet, and floral. A little bit of earthiness and smoked meats. After 3 hours some sweet fruit emerged in the nose.
2000 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, en magnum - smoke, mint, and pencil lead. Classic Left Bank.
