Relaxed Wine evening with great Pizza (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald Tasted blind. Clear, medium amber color. We should have decanted the wine. At first some oxidized notes in the nose that went away with some time. I would still consider this wine a bit past peak, but with air it showed a glimpse of what a GC could be. Lacks a bit of depth and tension of a real great Montrachet, but still a very good experience. Drink up soon. 91-92

Second bottle of my case of 6. It was initially fat and one dimensional. It took the wine 2 hours to open up. Firing on all cylinders with pineapple, salty minerals, and ripe yellow fruit. Very good weight and punch on the palate. Still ridiculously young. At least 10-15 years left.

Rich and mature baked apple, floral notes and sweet spice. Powerful and intensely concentrated' almost unctuous. Opened and expanded over the first 15-30 minutes in glass, then started shortening after in glass an hour+. Very good now, an excellent 1997 white.

Slow oxed for 3 hours. Nose had abundant ripe yellow fruit, cake, caramel and lemon oil. The palate had weight and intensity. An elegant wine with the power and finesse. The yellow fruit on the palate was lovely. It has the acidity to age for at least 5-7 more years.

Opened in 3+ hrs and lasted for 3+ hrs. Another great Jadot Demoiselles. Will last for another 5 yrs and may be 10 yrs.
