2020 Fujicco Winery Koshu Fujiclair Koshu Barrel FermentedYamanashi more |
4/25/2024 - mks83 Likes this wine: 90 pointsAuthentically Albarino-esque Koshu. Light yellow/green color. Nose is primarily lemon and grapefruit, with slight touch of chalky smokiness followed by polished hints of oak. The mouth confirms the nose - light/airy with good acidity, followed by subtly creamy richness. Very harmonious with good stuffing. Koshu from this konbu/kelp food product company (they are terroir sensitive for their konbu production) is consistently a hidden gem. |

4/25/2024 - adam.hill3 Likes this wine: 86 pointsFirst time trying a Kerner wine. Good balance similar to what I'd expect of a Riesling but maybe less sweet and less acidic. Enjoyed with a spicy stir fry. |

4/25/2024 - wtianseter wrote: 92 pointsNice well balanced and tasteful wine. It has a touch of sweetness more that I think it should have but that may still be influence from the big fruitiness. Dry on the back pallet in the middle and on the mouth in the finish. Has not changed much since it was initially released. |

2020 Les Jardins Vivants (Tino Kuban) Les GametsVin de France Pinot Noir more |
4/25/2024 - Xavier Auerbach wrote: 94 pointsDrinks with Steen Öhman (Wine Bar La Cuverie de Vosne-Romanée, Vosne-Romanée, France): Bottle No. 043 / 137. Not decanted. Rich and concentrated but transparent and precise, griotte and rose, hugely energetic chalky minerality, deep yet lifted, perfect weight (13% ABV), wonderful acidity, quite structured and in that sense almost Bordeaux-like, firm but finely grained tannins, slighty sweet oak, very long and layered finish. Very impressive if somewhat unusual in style. |

4/25/2024 - euroyup wrote: 91 pointsColor: quite dark golden yellow. Taste: honey and little raisins. Pure, with depth and at least - at the thrid day - good acidity, that made this wine nicely lively. Seems to have the power to last at least some years longer. A delicious wine. 91-92 |

4/25/2024 - Per-Harald wrote: 92 pointsFruity nose of peach, white flowers, orange peel and fresh fruit, on the palate high but still pleasant acidity of 9 gr which is in perfect balance to sweetness of 40 gr, long fresh taste of citrus fruits and apple. Long fresh taste, perfect match to Tikka Masala. 92p |

4/25/2024 - Henman Likes this wine: 87 pointsBest before 11/2014; 6,5% alcohol. Full bodied, rather dry and robust, showing vibrant hop, pine and grapefruit with a bit of malty notes and a bitter finish. This is a nice basic IPA from the austere end of the spectrum. A good quaff after the sauna. |

2021 Buchegger Riesling 1ÖTW Reserve MoosburgerinKremstal more |
4/25/2024 - huse Likes this wine: 94 pointsWonderful Kremstal Riesling grown on the loess-limestone soils of the small terraced ‘Moosburgerin’ vineyard (located in the village of Gedersdorf, about eight kilometers north-east of the city of Krems an der Donau). Maturation: the wine was aged on its fine lees for eight months. Color: beautiful pale green-yellow with silver reflections. Bouquet: truly inviting nose with notes of peach, apricot, meadow flowers and a hint of orange zest and flint. On the palate: a complex but extremely refined and well-balanced wine dominated by succulent citrus- and yellow stone fruit, with an impressive depth and a brilliant structure that is supported by a ripe but racy acidity. Finish: magnificent mineral aftertaste. An outstanding Riesling wine, already highly enjoyable now but also with an excellent aging potential. |

4/25/2024 - mks83 Likes this wine: 91 pointsNothing much to add to the following tasting note by Mr. Satofumi Nakamoto (Sommelier). The only thing I would add is the massive primary layer of cantaloupe / melon. Went sublime with creamy seafood gratin. |

4/25/2024 - ptaylor2112 wrote: NRDay 1 was all soft residual sugar on the finish. Day 2 was similar. It wasn’t until Day 3 when things got interesting. The acidity began to assert itself on the midpalate and finish, and the pleasant tartness balanced the sweet. Drink now if you like softer, sweeter wines. Otherwise, hold for at least another couple of years. |
