2010 Friedrich Becker Sankt Paul Spätburgunder Großes Gewächs
4/27/2024 - apple1813 wrote: 93 Points
2010 Weingut Friedrich Becker Sankt Paul is complex, earthy and delicately spiced. The developing Pflaz Spätburgunder is clear and pale ruby with a trace of fine suspensions. With a couple of hours of in-bottle aeration, it opens up expressive aromas of black cherry, dried strawberry and rose petals. Underneath are complexities of tobacco, liquorice, paprika spices and earth.
The mouthfeel is dry and medium-bodied. A rather high level of taut acidity on the attack reveals complex red spices and a medium level of integrated tannin. Vivid flavours of raspberry, hawthorn and truffle lead to stony minerality in a long, delineated finish. The 13.5% alcohol is well-concealed. The empty bottle weighs 842 grams.

2020 Domaine de la Taille aux Loups Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Hauts de Husseau
4/27/2024 - apple1813 Likes this wine: 92 Points
2020 Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Hauts de Husseau is perfumed, honeyed and mineral-laced. The youthful Loire Chenin Blanc is clear and pale gold in colour. The bottle is uncorked six hours before service. Aromas of ripe red apple, honeyed pear, wet wool and white blossom are followed by a whiff of smoke.
The dry and medium-bodied texture is accentuated by a high level of vivacious acidity. There are consistent flavours of honeyed apple cider garnished by salt and grapefruit oil in a long enjoyable finish. The alcohol level is 13.5%. The empty bottle weighs 609 grams.
It is great luxury aperitif when served slightly chilled, but can certainly hold up well with fish and goat cheeses. I'd appreciate an opportunity to revisit the wine after a decade of cellaring.

2010 Charles Noellat Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
4/23/2024 - apple1813 Likes this wine: 91 Points
(*This following tasting note refers to another Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru wine produced by the same winery, but with a specified lieu-dit, Chaffots. Adding a new wine has become exceedingly difficult after a recent update of the CellarTracker interface.*)
2010 Charles Noellat Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Les Chaffots is vibrant, perfumed and detailed. The wine is bottled under a natural cork, in contrast to DIAM-cork enclosure for the generic Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru from the same producer. The developing Morey Pinot Noir is clear and pale ruby in colour without any noticeable sediments. Expressive aromas of blackberry, violet and lilac are followed by sweet wood spices and truffle chocolate.
The mouthfeel is dry and medium-bodied, with a rather high level of lively acidity and a medium level of silky tannin. There are flavours of cranberry, red plum, crushed flowers and sweet spices in a rather long, delineated finish. The alcohol level is 13%. The empty bottle weighs 593 grams.
