Red
2001 Descendientes de José Palacios Bierzo Villa de Corullon Spain, Castilla y León, Bierzo
84 points
Past peak. Simple red wine.
Red
2012 Raul Pérez Bierzo Ultreia Mencia Spain, Castilla y León, Bierzo
90 points
Unexpectedly good. Medium plus intensity on nose, medium on palate. Individual red fruit profile not very distinct though. Drink now.
White - Sweet/Dessert
1991 Nederburg The Winemasters Noble Late Harvest South Africa, Coastal Region
90 points
Acidity moderate, still enticing with mainly tertiary profile. Past peak. Should drink ASAP.
White - Off-dry
2011 Dr. Hermann Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
90 points
Gold in colour, adequate acid, chamomile, honey, pear. Easy drinking option. Somm said some grapes are actually BA level. Should be able to keep, but probably not going to be exceptional with further aging. Can drink now.
White - Fortified
N.V. Churchill/Graham Porto Dry White Port Portugal, Douro, Porto
90 points
Lily and chamomile, delightfully dry. Somm actually usually pairs it with tonic like gin and tonic, understandable.

Forgot the vintages of two other wines (Bartolo Mascarello Barbera and Friedrich Becker Pinot Noir Sankt Paul GG)
