2009 Dominique Roger (Domaine du Carrou) SancerreSauvignon Blanc more |
6/28/2010 - ifm wrote: NRMuch more of a New World style (tropical fruits, etc.) than I'm used to in this wine. Nice to drink, to be sure, but I prefer a slightly more restrained Sancerre. Maybe the vintage, maybe a deliberate change by the vintner? |

2003 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling SpätleseNahe more |
6/28/2009 - ifm wrote: 90 pointsA little less sugar and a little more acid would've improved an already very good wine. Secondary characteristics, like a faint note of petrol, just beginning to show. Slumming, we drank this with fried chicken. |
