2022 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette
4/19/2024 - Claymonster Likes this wine: 88 Points
Lovely gamay and my first from this producer. Darker and broodier that I'm used to from the region and variety. Also this is 14% so maybe the warmth of 2022 has something to do with that. Quite fresh though with a good balance of bright bramble fruits, earth, medium acidity and body, and tannins that have a little unwelcome harshness to them. Not a dealbreaker, but they just seemed edgy. I should not be surprised at this however since it is so young and it does suggest that several years in the bottle will serve this well. A good wine and a good bargain for bottles in the low $20s.

2022 Kirkland Signature Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée du Terroir Des Papes

This was a pleasant surprise. Good balance of fruit, baking spice, and pepper (black). Medium minus acidity, medium plus body. Soft tannins. Impressive for sub $20. For what it's worth, the cork was stamped "Guillaume Gonnet" which gives you insight into the producer.

2021 Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Veldenzer Elisenberg Riesling Kabinett

Consumed over two days and was more vibrant on the second than the first. Medium body, pronounced sweetness but not overpowering. Good refreshing acidity and some petrol + petrichor elements. Will revisit and a nice value at the $23 paid.
