Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 2008 Domaine Dublère Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

    Nose: Not a typical Chablis nose, more modern in style. Very ripe fruit like pineapple, mango and a bit of vanilla. With more time in the glass you get more of a floral and a cauliflower note.
    Palate: Good acidity, nice calcareous note which is so typical for Chablis. Much more mineral driven than the nose. Lovely citrus component on the finish. You can enjoy this wine now, don´t think that its a must to cellar it for several more years.

Flight 3 (1 Note)

  • 2002 Bouchard Père et Fils Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

    Nose: At first you get a bit of a cheese component like a ripe brie, behind that you can find more of a dark fruit like dark sour cherry, amarena cherry and a bit of water melon. Appeals fresh & super young for a 12 year old wine.
    Palate: Very good acidity, tannins are recognisable, good power and tension. Medium+ finish. Nice showing.

Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 2005 Domaine Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

    Nose: Dark cherry, a bit of spices like cinnamon, peppermint and a hint of wood.
    Palate: Fresh & focused on the palate with good acidity & tannin structure. A espresso/licorice component which appeals a bit bitter on the back-end.

Flight 5 (1 Note)

  • 2005 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia 92 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Nose: A beautiful nose which was much more opened, espically with some time in the glass compared to the 98 I had a few weeks ago. A bit of raspberry & sour cherry, licorice, eucalyptus, vinegar, a hint of black elder and leather.
    Palate: Appeals very fresh on the palate through the combination of a relativ high acidity & the not slaying tannins. Not the longest finish. As always in this wines you don´t recognize the relatively high alcohol.
    Needs another 10-15 years to fully show its whole potential although I think this will not be the vintage which could last forever.

Flight 6 (2 Notes)

  • 2007 Nittnaus Blaufränkisch Leithaberg 93 Points

    Austria, Burgenland, Neusiedlersee-Hügelland, Leithaberg

    Nose: At first this wine shows a lot of fruit but opens up for secondary aromas with more air & time in the glass. A bit of blackberry, dark sour cherry and blueberry mixed with some herbs and just a hint of vanilla & honey. But you can feel that its more a cool climate wine which is not overdone. Gets better & better with time.
    Palate: Very good balance between a lot of power, juiciness and acidity. Long finish with a mineral kick on the back-end. Appeals super young for a wine from 2007. Can age easily for ten more years.
