2019 Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisetiers
4/27/2024 - IvanLi Likes this wine: 93 Points
Buttery chard with tropical fruits, apples, cocoa, butter and French oak. Viscous and concentrated on the attack the wine lacks a bit on the finish and the mid palate. Excellent example of a New World Chard.
PS: with more time I would downgrade it a half point to 93-94 as the there is too much unintegrated acidity on the finish (acidified?)

2018 Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca

The wine is better on day 2, so it needs aeration.
Tropical fruits, melon, yellow apples, nice acidity and salinity. Very concentrated but slightly oxidised.
High quality Garganega.

2019 Weingut Türk Grüner Veltliner Frechau 1ÖTW

A very concentrated almost viscous wine that resembles Kabinett Riesling but made of Grüner. The wine is beautifully concentrated and complex but lacks purity and balance: there are some off-flavors that dissipate with air and the wine is too sweet lacking acidity to balance it out.
Overall it needs aeration and is more of a tasting experience rather than pure pleasure.
