2014 Charles Joguet Chinon Les Varennes du Grand Clos

Fascinating bottle. Very fresh with red cherries, wild strawberry and red currant and a touch of rosehip. Stringent acidity with a touch of rubarb/redcurrant sprinkled with herbs - pulling towards a touch of mint and blood orange(?). Mild tannins and a very fesh palate in general.
Preferred this on the cooler side - around 16C - to let the fresh aromatics play out fully.
Glass. Riedel Veritas Merlot

Very lean. Pale straw colour with green hue.
Lemon/lime, gooseberry and gray pears with a lot of minerals and high acidity. Felt somewhat linear and diluted compared to what I was hoping for.
Not sure if this was a weak bottle or if it just needs more time to flesh out as it was way tighter than expected.

2020 A. Christmann Konigsbacher Idig Riesling Großes Gewächs

No formal notes but undeniable quality with white fruit, petrol and honey. Will for sure benefit from further cellaring as it came across as quite young.
Coravin over 6-7 weeks - opened in error instead of the simpler Christmann I was looking for
