Rahsaan,
Thanks for having me over for dinner. Was a pleasure catching up again and the food was excellent (particularly enjoyed the mushroom pizza; I need to find some of those mushrooms myself - had a really different texture/taste to any other mushroom I've encountered).
On the wines - I loved the Adam, certainly a very different style of Riesling than the more standard sweet wines from the Mosel but really well balanced, complex and interesting to follow over a couple of hours. I'm looking forward to trying his 08s once they arrive.
The Baudry was lovely (wasn't that a 95 though?) - the last time I'd had that wine was when I was distracted by that Jadot Amoureuses and the FX Kellerbergs, so it was great to revisit it and give it some more attention. Really refreshing and tasty, and I need to start exploring Chinon a bit more for more wines like that.
Shame about the Alzinger which had some nice fruit and spice suggesting a pristine bottle would be lovely, but the oxidation eventually overshadowed the more pleasurable elements. And the 98 Gouges - ouch!
I enjoyed the Diel although found it much closer to a big Auslese than Spätlese in its fruit profile - very ripe, sweet and tasty with some nice minerally elements emerging later. Certainly very happy with that buy (as I enjoy Diel's wines, but generally can't bring myself to buy them at their usual sticker prices).
