Domaine Bott-Geyl - 2010

• Grafenreben-Lieu-Dit, Alsace, France
• Riesling
• $29.50
• Yellow, apple juice like color  
• Served with broccolli, cauliflower and ham gratin

He says :           2.5 stars

• At the end, we taste blueberries and blackberries 
• Very typical "Riesling" taste
• For a 3/10 on the dry/sweet scale, its very very sweet, slightly sweet indeed but the label was misleading 
• Taste: Sweet apples, peaches. Apricots at the start, but taste is modified throughout the tasting
• Fresh taste that lasts long enough in mouth, but not complex enough
• Weird aftertastes mitigates finish; more apparent when not really cold
• Less interesting than Eroica
• I did not appreciate, too sweet for me, misleading label

She says :           3.0 stars

• Very sweet and soft: Tastes like ripe fruits - raisins, peaches and cider (sweet appleas)
• Very sweet finish: Small fruits like blackberries
• Too sweet for me
• Smells like vanilla and alcohol
• Slight vinegar feeling at the front of the tongue
