2010 P. Dubreuil-Fontaine Père & Fils Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses

This is darned good now. As in prior notes, a little thin for a 1er on opening, with signature Pernand sandy tannins, very fine-grained - as befits the quality of this vineyard - and tart cherry. Hand-in-hand with the Pernand tannins goes a palpable sense of density, which is moderate here. The whole package is very clean, balanced, and pure, especially the cherry flavors, and the thinness dissipates somewhat after a night in the 'fridge. A very nice adjunct from Ile to the versions produced by Chandon dB and Rollin; a bit like an imagined Jadot with more elegance. A good surprise after previous showings. At $65 for the 2019, not the value it was in 2010, but reasonably priced, relative to Iles from other good vignerons.

2004 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Schlossberg Cuvée Ste. Catherine

Opened for a wine dinner group: excellent. A little scratchy on opening, but develops nicely with decanting and aeration: medium- to full-bodied, mouth-filling with depth and complexity. Good with food and to sip on its own. Double magnum formt.

I didn't get a taste of this until it had been open about 3.5 hours, but it was terrific at that point. No notes, but a really good impression of balance, fullness, and some cherry fruit.
