2010 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Auslese Nr. 72
12/27/2023 - Vintomas wrote: 92 Points
Golden colour. An elegant nose of stone fruit, citrus, fried apple, petroleum and other developed notes (but not really any obvious botrytis that I can detect). Semi-sweet palate with very good acidity, again peach and other stone fruit, citrus and apples, good concentration of flavour, and a very fresh finish. Has the 2010-style freshness, clearly developed, but will keep for a long time, 92 pts.
(From a half bottle)

2015 Gabin et Felix Richoux Irancy
12/4/2023 - Vintomas wrote: 88 Points
Medium red colour, nose with ripe strawberries, hints of cherries and undergrowth, and minerality. Medium bodied, again strawberries and some cherries, very fine acidity, noticeable chalky(?) minerality, some tannins, and a rather firm finish. Drinks well now, could cellar for a long time, 88 pts.
This producer usually makes good wines, but I'd say that this 2015 is more impressive and less green than their "regular" Irancy usually is, so rather much like a good village-level wine from Côte d'Or (or at least Côte de Beaune).

2021 Domaine Denis Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne
11/1/2023 - Vintomas wrote: 91 Points
A very fine nose with obvious but well handled oak including some smoke and hints of vanilla, ripe pear, citrus and mineral. Medium(+) bodied with apple, pear, citrus, fine acidity, mineral and a rather long aftertaste. Young but reasonably approachable, 91+ pts.
It is a well built and pure wine but a bit on the lean side for a grand cru, but that's probably to be expected in the 2021 vintage, although the acidity is not overly prominent. I expect this to improve with time as lead but well made Corton-Charlies typically do, but I have no experience from this specific producer.
