Wednesday, December 27, 2023 - Christmas family dinner 2023

NV Drappier Carte d*Or Champagne (1 magnum) - 90p
Brilliant Pinot Noir based apero (75% PN, 15% Chardonnay, 10% Meunier) with 7g/L dosage.

2020 Weingut Jakob Schneider Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Trocken (1 magnum) - 94p
WOTN for me, no surprise Parker rated this 95p! Vibrant, elegant, zingy palate with incredible length and depth, light petrol, lots of minerals, yellow plums, and perfect acidity.

2021 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Gelblack trocken (3 bottles) - 90p
I tried all Gelblack vintages since 2013 and this is imo the best one since 2015. Creamy and highly mineralic Riesling with peaches and salty herbs.

2015 Villa Al Cortile Brunello di Montalcino (2 bottles) - 91p
2h decant, much better after 4h. Light crimson red colour. Herbal-juicy palate with tart cherries, strong tannins, acidiy, tarragon, and leather. Excellent food pairing with homemade Beef Wellington.

2014 Château Faugeres (1 bottle) - 91p
2h decant. Dark red almost black colour. Lovely silky palate with black and blue berries, light licorice, chocolate and oak. Suckling rated this 94p and WA 92p. Might get there in a couple of years.
