Perhaps the world's longest cork for a n affordable wine?? That was about the only accolade I can offer. Decanted for 2 hours and still full of Brett and volatile acidity. Unfortunately, this bottle is defective. Not a problem for natural wine drinkers who are used to the funky, volatile elements but despite the long decant and large glasses and pairing with beef the volatility just didn't dissipate. God bless Jacky Blot but he didn't build his great legacy on this faulty style...

2018 Dönnhoff Roxheimer Höllenpfad Riesling Trocken

this is really singing now! No notes taken but the awkwardness of youth was gone and there is even a touch of honeyed citrus developing. Re-buy if possible. Too bad that these are getting more and more expensive...

2018 Domaine Labet Chardonnay La Bardette

Not one of the cleaner Labet Chardonnays with plenty of natural wine funk on the nose. However, the palate was much more together with a searing acidity, quite unusual for this warm vintage (14% abv). There's lovely richness here with some matchlock reduction and that omnipresent acidity which tells me it could use another 2 or 3 years, say from 2027 on. No signs of oxidation here.
