2017 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Monopole Clásico 91 Points
Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja
Green and yellow fruits, oak use on the nose and a nutty character. Very good value, interesting and unique white.

Still lean and reductive, all stones and lacking in fruit at the moment.

2001 Vieux Château Certan 95 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
Stunning nose which is not something I say about Bordeaux often. Seductive plum fruits, long and expansive finish, such a seamlessly integrated wine.

2005 Château Montrose
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
Didn’t show as well as the VCC alongside, similar to the previous note from a couple months back with the animal funk and brooding fruit being the primary characteristics of this wine.

2014 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Light and elegant style, charming red fruit with a silky texture but slightly underpowered for a grand cru.

2010 Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 94 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
I think the only reason to pan this wine is because it is so approachable for a vaunted vintage, possibly without as much stuffing as expected. Very similar to the 2008 Ca d'Morissio I tried earlier this month but softer, had the producer signature of ethereal red fruit and aroma of rose petals. Tannic bite at the end.

2018 Donatsch Pinot Noir Unique 91 Points
Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland, Graubünden, Malans
Not as impressive as the 2020 tasted last week, this was riper and sweeter in a new-world way. Nonetheless the depth and concentration of silky red fruit were still very impressive.
