Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 2012 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année 92 Points

    France, Champagne

    Glass: Sophienwald
    From Magnum. Fresh, tart, young. Very good Champagne, but did not excite me or touched me. Compared to the Krug 168 we had this night, it felt simple and one dimensional. Give it some more time. 91-92+

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2007 Franz Hirtzberger Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel 93 Points

    Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau

    Glass: Sophienwald
    From Magnum. Popped and poured. Clear, deep golden color. Fresh, fruity and floral nose with some Amalfi citrus, sweet fruit.
    On the palate the classic prototype of Wachau style Smaragd. Lots of residual sugar, very creamy, lots of sweet fruit, dense, fresh, mineral, probably a bit hot, long and sweet finish. If I would drink it alone, I would probably rated it higher, but today it lost a bit against his elder brother :) 93-94
