Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 2010 E. Guigal Ermitage Blanc Ex-Voto 95 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    Glass: Spiegelau Burgundy.
    Decanted for about 2h . Clear, deep golden-amber color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose. Dried fruit (apricot, fig), oxidative notes, very mineral, zests, floral notes, complex and very deep.
    On the palate dry, lots of extract, 13,5% abv, medium acidity. Dried fruit, orange notes, floral notes, oxidative notes, nuts, very mineral. Wonderful round and balanced, great texture and tension, very long and complex finish. Drink now or over the next two decades, I assume it will not change much. 94-95

  • 2012 Wittmann Westhofener Morstein Riesling Großes Gewächs 95 Points

    Glass: Spiegelau Burgundy
    Popped and poured. Clear pale golden color. Clean, pronounced, developing nose. Smoky, herbaceous, zesty and mineral notes. Very deep, dense and beautiful!
    On the palate even a step up from the Hubacker. Zesty, smoky, green tobacco, high, ripe acidity, very mineral. Wonderful balance, very deep, great tension and energy, very juicy. Very long, mineral and complex. In a wonderful spot right now. Best bottle I had so far from this wine. 95

Flight 5 (1 Note)

  • 2012 Emrich-Schönleber Halenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs 91 Points

    Germany, Nahe

    Glass: Spiegelau Burgundy
    Popped and poured. Clear, pale golden color. Clean, medium intense nose, some ripe fruit, herbs, quite fresh.
    Very good wine, but clearly lacking the depth and complexity of the Hubacker and Morstein in this vintage. Lacks tension and length. Consistent with my previous bottles. 91-92

Flight 6 (1 Note)

  • 2002 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 95 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Glass: Spiegelau Universal
    Popped and poured. Perfect bottle. Clear, pale citrus golden color. Clean, pronounced, deveoping nose. First with some vanishing petrol, some fine vanilla, white stone fruit and blossoms, mineral, ripe yellow stone fruit. Beautiful.
    On the palate almost off-dry, due to the high, racy acidity. Only 7,5% abv. White stone fruit, fresh herbs, very juicy. Beautiful tension and complexity, dancing on the tongue and very refreshing. Long, lingering finish. 94-95

Flight 7 (1 Note)

  • 2006 Weingut Keller Monsheimer Silberberg Rieslaner Trockenbeerenauslese Goldkapsel 94 Points

    Germany, Rheinhessen

    Glass: Spiegelau Universal
    Popped and poured. Clear, deep amber with a reddish hue. Pronounced, intense nose, lots of botrytis, nail polish remover, exotic fruit.
    Yes, extremly complex and long, but very foreseeable. Tastes like any other clean and good TBA. Extreme acidity, oily texture, never ending finish. But I can't drink much of it. I would rather prefer the Prüm Auslese, because I could drink the whole bottle. First world problems. This bottle is for sure immortal and can be drunk over the next decades. 94
