Initial aromatics of lychee and white peach. Initial comment to see if note is accepted. A Grand Cru Riesling from Alsace which is unique because of its soil type which is volcanic rather than sandstone - the latter in the minority. Dry Riesling with a certain spiciness. Deserves to be a Grand Cru. The vineyard was first planted in the 12th Century by the Cistercian Monks hence the name Muenchberg (Mountain of the Monks).

This was the pairing of the night. Just pure magic. Alone this was a great nose and neutral pallette and with the smoked scallop and uni the nose was blanketed and the pallette came alive with flowers and herbs.
