2002 Jacquesson & Fils Champagne Brut Millésimé 93 Points
France, Champagne
Full colour, fine mousse; rich nose, lovely evolution, candied fruit, nuts and coffee; rich and weighty palate, really shows the power of its vintage, no lack of freshness however; excellent length. Drinking very well, no reason to keep this very long.

2009 Franz Hirtzberger Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Honivogl 92 Points
Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau
A powerhouse, enormously rich, 14.5% ABV, low acidity, almost Traminer-like, lychee, some white pepper too, honeyed botrytis notes, very impressive but actually little varietal character, complex, subtle bitters, very long. Not really my style if I am completely honest.

2007 Malvira' Roero Mombeltramo Riserva 88 Points

14% ABV. Slightly drying style, hint of dried cherries, quite tannic, lacks some stuffing and length, not unattractive but seems a bit tired.
