The 2017 Riesling Morstein Grosse Gewächs from Wittmann #wittmann had to convince pop and pour. Unsurprisingly, the aromas on the nose were intense right from the start. Lots of dried herbs, plenty of citrus notes and wet stones. I was a little confused by the occasional hints of petrol (somewhat brighter than the usual petrol notes in mature Rieslings). Or are they flint notes after all - I wasn't sure all evening. On the palate, the usual chalk and clay marl-based Morstein fireworks. Taut acidity, lots of energy and substance, this has pressure, is aromatically intense, herbaceous and dark mineral, little fruit - rather lemon thyme, lemon balm and citrus zest, white stone fruit. Not a wine for sissies. But despite the rather cool vintage, not an acid monster, but a demanding and at the same time very enjoyable wine for friends of intensely mineral Rieslings. 94/100 2024-2035

The ripe acidity is perfectly dimensioned, holds everything together and balances the wine perfectly. Aromatically a mixture of lemontarte with a shortcrust pastry base and rather yellow, partly exotic fruits: Stone fruit, pineapple, jackfruit. A hint of butter from the wood.

What a lovely surprise! Almost pure Mencia from 80-year-old vines from the single plot "Seoane". Now that it has matured a few years, it's even more fun! This clearly scratches the "great wine" category (>=95). Cool, dark and deep attack. Very pure-toned, slatey cool and stony. In addition to the clear, cool black-blue fruit, the wine lives from its cool fruit, its freshness and good freshness. There is nothing heavy, but cool elegance

Klaus Peter harvested the grapes for the GG from the Kirchspiel in two harvests until November.

After a good 10 years, the Kirchspiel presents itself today with a strikingly beautiful and pronounced yellow fruit of stone fruit, pineapple and a hint of mango. There are also bright, delicately spicy aromas reminiscent of fennel seed, mace and aniseed. The fact that this vintage presents itself so well today is due in particular to its extract and simultaneous harmony - neither too heavy nor too acidic. As the fruit is still so expressive and present today, the acidity is well buffered and the alcohol is moderate at 12.5%, I will put my remaining bottles away for at least another 3-5 years, as I believe that the wine will become even more delicate and complex with age. I'm already looking forward to it. 93+/100 2024 - 2040

This Riesling comes from ungrafted vines. Pressed just like in great grandpa's time. All the grapes are harvested, the grapes are crushed in the vat with the feet while still in the vineyard so that the juice is released and maceration begins. In the evening, pressing begins with an old basket press and the must is poured into the "Fuder" barrel without sedimentation. Sponta fermentation and the wine remains on the lees until the following summer. The barrel dates from 1960 and no longer releases any wood aromas. There is exactly 1 barrel of this unique wine grown on red slate.

The 2019 is currently in full possession of its powers - the wine is dense, powerful, rich in extract and shows a crazy slate spiciness. Together with the expressive fruit of yellow stone fruit and red apples, this is a multi-layered, extremely animating chewy wine. The wine is perfectly balanced, despite its power it is elegant, has a wonderful mouthfeel and just the right blend of salivating acidity and a slight residual sugar content. A great wine that has a long life ahead of it, but is a lot of fun now. 98 2024-2040

Clear, piquantly fresh nose with radiance; predominantly red fruit and some cassis with subtle spice, a hint of pepper. The fresh impression of the bouquet is fully confirmed on the palate, the acidity is animating. The wine shows density, fruity coolness and punch without heaviness. The wine shows good structure and aromatic clarity with fine tannins. Similar to a light Athenian, little fat on the ribs, but plenty of energy going forward. Bright red fruit, sour cherries, red currants, a hint of mint. Harmonious, balanced, refreshing and with a good length.

The bouquet is cool and quite restrained at the beginning - a longer aeration (6 hours in the bottle) would certainly have had a positive effect here. With a little patience and a swirl of the large Burgundy glass, the depth of the wine becomes more and more apparent - quite magnificent! Cool, very clear and pure, rather dark berry, black cherries, dark rocky notes and the classic Vosne spice come through. The palate is extremely pure, focused and the depth and energy cast a spell over you. Powerful, dense, cool and mineral and core. The lively acidity - supported by a very noble tannin structure - blends in perfectly. Aromatically a mirror image of the impressions of the nose, rather dark fruit aromas, black cherries as well as noble, mineral-earthy spice aromas. A really great, typical Les Suchots that is only at the very beginning of a long life of enjoyment.

What a great verdejo, matured under flor yeasts. The nose is complex, animating, fragrant, aromatic: salt marshes, sea breeze, fennel seeds, a hint of aniseed, white fruit, salt lemons, salted nuts. Wonderfully structured on the palate, clear, precise, the ageing under flor yeasts is clear, reminiscent of great fino sherries, white fruit, lightly salted nuts, fennel seed again and a hint of aniseed, salted lemon, chalky minerality, the wine is dense, very dry, clear and with animating acidity, which is well balanced by a delicate phenolic. The wine comes from ancient vines from times before the phylloxera plague. A great wine with a lot of individual character and depth.

2021 Riesling Schlossberg GC Cuvee Ste. Catherine. The wine comes from vines that are around 70 years old, from the middle part of the vineyard. For me, the most complete wine from the current collection. Already deep, intense and clear as a bell on the nose. The high minerality can already be smelled in the form of flinty, smoky notes. The palate is also intense, full-bodied and rich. At the same time, it has a lot of tension, enormous minerality, salinity and a well-defined acidity that makes the wine animating, juicy and fresh despite its intensity. The fruit shows yellow stone fruit, some tropical hints and dried herbs. However, the rhythm of this intense and complex wine is determined by the mineral beat. 96/100 2023-2050

Full-bodied, very clear, excellent, still gripping noble tannins; the acidity is clear and balances the wine perfectly with its power. Dark berry fruit again, plum pits, some toasted coconut and a hint of vanilla creme brulee. Underneath are appealing earth tones, light tobacco leaf and fresh nutmeg.

It has plenty of good potential, an expressive nose with dark fruit, sweet spice, herbal sugar and blue flowers. The palate is dense, with lots of melting and velvety round tannins. The acidity is medium to medium+ And basically sufficient. It's all very good, but lacks a bit of clarity and definition for me.

What a classic in perfection, the archetype of its origin. Nothing is made up, done or operated on the wine, this is grown world class. Already in the nose aristocratic, slightly undercooled, but fine elegance; dark, earthy and fine spicy aromas, combined with a black-red fruit and noblest tobacco leaves (not a bit sweet or perfumed). The palate is fully convincing with an excellent structure, the perfect definition and balance. The wine combines depth, transparency and a persistence without any heaviness. The noble acidity, pulled as if on a string, and the perfect tannins, absolutely fine-grained and precise - all this gives me goose bumps. A perfect, classic Syrah with the style and elegance of a great Burgundy. This wine makes you turn in on yourself, it radiates calm, elegance and dignity. A truly great wine that can be enjoyed now with 12 hours of light aeration; but ultimately is only at the beginning of a very long life. Perfect stuff that only goes differently, but not better. 100/100 2023-2050

The Condrieu La Carthery of Château Grillet was first vinified in 2017. The vineyard, located above the chateau, could be acquired in 2014. In the glass, the wines made an amazing evolution. The bottle was freshly opened and the wine showed in the first moment a particular heaviness and a slight musty tone. Then it built enormously and became increasingly fresh, cool and the powerful alcohol of 15.5% integrated within a very short time. Notes of yellow cherries, reneclodes, white peach, yellow plums - plus a slight salty note. The medium acidity was surprisingly nice for a Viognier and provided adequate balance. Overall, a wonderfully fragrant and with air amazingly precise and surprisingly delicate substance, which reverberates location on the palate. 92/100

In a direct comparison of Clos Rougeard's Brezé and Guiberteau, Guiberteau's wine clearly had the edge. I do not know if the CR was an off bottle or not. It was not a classic cork fault, the wine was too developed, lacked tension and clarity. Some yellow fruit, wax notes - somehow everything like a Burgundy with Premox. The Guiberteau was quite different. The wine shows in the form of a harmonious acidity and a delicate melt that it has now arrived in a good drinking window. Various notes of citrus peel, green pears, lemon balm and chamomile, as well as a nice chalky minerality from the Loire tufa (not to be confused with volcanic tufa) that gives the wine a touch of oyster shell. The wine has a nice medium+ acidity and a good length. It lacks some complexity for a great wine. 92/100 The Brezé of Clos Rougeard was in condition at a maximum of 85 points. Disappointing.

Cassis liqueur, blackberries, blueberries, plums, chat olives - plus some pipe tobacco and nougat. Amazingly, the perceived medium acidity takes control of this monster and balances it out. It gets better with air, the freshness increases with air, not decreases. On the palate, in addition to the fruit, it shows some spicy notes that suit it well. For pure elegance drinkers in the sense of a Grand Crus from Burgundy, the wine is not suitable, but undoubtedly this is great stuff, which despite the high alcohol is not too hot and has an amazing balance and especially complexity.

Already in the expressive, lively and dense nose the wine is fascinating. Aromas of Meyer lemons, white peaches, buttered pastries, pale yellow and exotic fruits and hints of freshly picked herbs. The palate is, dense and deep, showing a clear freshness with a nice (medium+) acidity at quite full body. Aromatically, the impressions correspond with the aromas of the nose, with the exoticism here reminding me of canned pineapple. From the silky, juicy mouthfeel, the wine spans an arc to an underlying, slightly smoky minerality. The cuvee of abundant Marsanne with a little Rousanne combines body and 14% alcohol with a wonderful freshness, depth and complexity that builds more and more with a little air and shows an exciting herbal spiciness in addition to the fruit in the long finish. This is so incredibly fun to drink young, but has potential.

Rousanne / Marsanne often tend to be a bit heavy in middle age, before then at the age of 10+ years the wines - with a share of tertiary aromas - often experience a second bloom. 93/100 2023 - 2036
