NV Vranken Champagne Cuvée Cartier Brut
4/26/2024 - Oysteih Likes this wine:
Stored in the cellar for four years, after it being "gifted" to me buying jewelry for my wife. Medium golden. Pleasant developing nose, with aromas of candied lemon, white stonefruit, cashew nuts, brioche and wet stone. Medium body, med alc, soft elegant mousse, tasting lemon, ripe pears, bread dough, red berries smoke and minerality. Long well balanced finish.

Light golden color. Medium + intensity nose with aromas of citrus, pear, white flowers, musk, iberico ham, and a clean minerality. Palate is great, dry, with notes of citrus, canned peaches, mandarin, wet stones and sea spray, it has a focused clear direction, great medium++ acid level, med - body, light almost weightless midpalate and a very long sharp finish with big energy.

2002 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain
4/13/2024 - Oysteih Likes this wine:
Glass generously shared to me by my neighbour. Medium copper of color. High intensity beautiful nose, still no doubt it being gewursztraminer with aromas of very ripe peaches, lychee, and rose petals. Its softer though than a fresh example, and theres a wide array of dried fruit and honey aromas. The palate is off-dry, and the gewursztraminer sting is really rounded out in a surprisingly pleasant way. Tastewise its echoing the nose, but it doesnt carry the same level of complexity, its flatter and more monotone, dominated by a dried tropical fruit character and smoked honey. The concentration and length is huge though, and allthough being slightly over the top its obviously a very well made wine. Drink now.
