2018 Hansen-Lauer Bernkasteler Graben Riesling Auslese

A bit too sweet for my taste, but it pair nicely with the Indian curry that we made.
Ripe tropical fruits, ripe peach, apricot, honey and there's also a bit of citrus fruits to give some balance and acidity, but I would have loved some more acidity to balance it even further. A nice slate minerality and a hint of petroleum. At €12 this is still a mighty fine wine!

2021 Alice et Olivier De Moor Bourgogne-Aligoté

Right off the bat, the nose had a touch of something funky, but it blew off with time. Overall quite a natural and wild fermented feel to it. Citrus fruits all over it, some fermented/oxidized green apple, unripe green stone fruits, green banana, crushed stone, oyster brine and this slight touch of green asparagus and tarragon.
Palate blew me away with how concentrated and weighty it was, but the acidity was blazing! Lemon juice, lime juice, citrus zest and pith, green apple, green grapes, green banana and some unripe element as well, but there's this creamy mouthfeel as well. Insane minerality with crushed and wet rocks and a lovely touch of sea breeze/oyster brine.
Absolute insane value ~€26 I need more!!!

NV Stroebel Champagne Triptyque

Made with a blend of the 2014, 2016 and 2017 vintages with a mix of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Bottled in July 2018 with 5,734 bottles made and of course Brut Nature.
Extremely golden in the glass - you can already see the more natural and oxidized style here.
Nose really showed this natural and oxidized style. Quite mature on the nose with bruised golden apple, apple cider, candied lemon, candied pineapple, guava, oak and brioche. Getting aged vintage and a slight Selosse vibe.
Even though the nose was mature and oxidized, the palate started off with a big hit of freshness - Red and green apple, red forest berries, ripe citrus fruits, citrus zest and some peach.
Then comes the creamy mouthfeel, depth and beautiful balance of, once again, more natural and oxidized notes. Cold churned butter, brioche, mature/bruised orchard fruits and grapefruit.
Such a laser-sharp acidity and so energetic with the zero dosage in perfect balance. Chalky, stoney and clean. Wonderful!
