Got takeout from a great north Indian place nearby for dinner; samosas and chicken kebabs to go with the cricket. Along with the food we drank a bottle of 2007 JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese.
Decanted four hours in advance of serving; shows a lovely nose of ripe pears, apples and peaches mingled with spring flowers, slate and rose petals with hints of sulfur still lingering beneath. Superb in the mouth with a glossy, polished texture, ripe fruit, floral and mineral flavours blending seamlessly and a sense of real delicacy and lightness. Finishes long and slightly creamy, fantastic.
