Last night's bottle of 2011 von Othegraven Altenberg GG was rockin' and rollin'. Just as fun as the last bottle from 9 months ago, although maybe a bit more golden and evolved (if I squint my taste buds). Either way, last night it combined that comfortable evolution with freshness and oh-so-much fragrance, a perfect combination.
It also worked really well with dinner. One of the few wines I've had that actually was a great match with the salad (although last night's salad was micro greens with carrots, radishes and avocado, and the avocado really helped meld with the wine). Also brilliant with striped bass and arugula green garlic pesto.
Lovely lovely.
