Flight 1 (1 Note)

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2003 Dom Pérignon Champagne 93 Points

    France, Champagne

    Clear, deep golden color. Wonderful smoky and dense nose, very expressive and complex. On the palate classic DomPi: Quite baroque, some caramel, warm fruit, noticeable sweetness, smoky. But also with a wonderful depth and pressure. Very long and lingering finish. Ready for the show, but no need to hurry, will last for at least another decade. 93-94

  • 2005 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut 94 Points

    France, Champagne

    Clear, medium golden color with a salmon hue. On nose and palate the complete opposite of the 2003 DomPi we had in parallel: Fine, elegant nose with lots of red fruit and fresh green apple. On the palate very precise, lean, youthful and fresh. Finest mousseux, elegant and very long. I guess it is not yet at its full peak and could benefit from 5+ years of cellaring. Very beautiful! 94

Flight 3 (2 Notes)

  • 2015 François Raveneau Chablis 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis

    Tasted blind. Clear, pale golden color. Quite muted and rather boring, non saying nose. On the palate very fine, elegant, precise and dense with an almost oily texture. Very fresh, some hints of lime and very mineral. Solid finish. 91-92

  • 2015 J-M Naulin Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

    Tasted blind. Clear, pale golden color. Way more expressive nose than the Raveneau: Reductive, some oak, lime and flint. Love it. On the palate not as elegant, precise and long as the Raveneau, but nevertheless nice. Fine herbs, lean, mineral. Solid Chablis with some ageing potential. 89-90

Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 2005 Christian Zundel Chardonnay Velabona 88 Points

    Switzerland, Ticino

    Tasted blind. Pirate. Clear, medium golden color. Mediocre nose, some vegetables. On the palate rather warm and hot, suprised to see that it only has 12,5% abv. Spicy, very powerful but also quite balanced. Drink up. 88

  • 2009 Bernhard Huber Wildenstein Spätburgunder R 94 Points

    Germany, Baden

    Tasted blind. In this flight we were all convinced to drink either 2007/2011 CSJ from Esmonin. That already should tell how great both wines of this flight performed. And that we all thought that this Huber was a top notch Burgundy... Clear, deep ruby-garnet color. Deep, smoky, complex and multi-layered nose. On the palate silky texture, high acidity, fine tannin structure. Spicy, herbaceous, a bit green, cool, very elegant and with a nice pressure. 93-94

  • 2009 Bernard Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

    Tasted blind. In this flight we were all convinced to drink either 2007/2011 CSJ from Esmonin. That already should tell how great both wines of this flight performed. Clear, deep ruby-garnet color. Fine, airy, deep and complex nose. On the palate very deep, high acidity and fine tannin. Beautifully balanced and round, but also with great tension and pressure. Long, multi-layered finish. Best Pinot this evening! 94-95

Flight 8 (1 Note)

  • 1958 Berberana Rioja Gran Reserva 89 Points

    Spain, La Rioja, Rioja

    Tasted blind. Pirate. I could swear to god that I was drinking Pinot and not Rioja! Clear, deep, garnet and youthful color. 10 years perhaps, but 70? Spicy, deep and ripe nose with some black pepper. On the palate lean, precise, high, well integrated acidity, sweet red fruit, some floral notes, very well balanced and fresh. Solid length. Amazed to see what it actually was. 89-90

  • 1993 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Auslese Nr. 43 93 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Tasted blind. Deep, golden amber color. Needed some time in the glass to unfold. Had some glue notes at first that vanished and classic Ruwer notes emerged. High, racy acidity, Cassis, elder notes, dense and deep, racy and precise. We should have given the wines more time, perhaps it would become even more complex. Nevertheless a beautiful Ruwer Auslese. Lack a bit the final tension and pressure to be really great, but nevertheless very, very good. 93

  • 1994 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese 94 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Tasted blind. Clearly Grünhaus, clearly Spätlese. This evening for me the Spätlese outperformed the Karthäuserhof Auslese. Beautiful precision, clarity, tension and energy that developed with every second in the glass. Juicy, racy and lingering. That's how Ruwer Spätlese should be. 93-94
