A weekend with friends in Germany Mosel area: Part 1: A strange wine. Although there is a lot to smell and taste, the bouquet as well as the taste are not completely fresh. Not corked. Anyway; the bouquet shows a lot of barnyard and in the mouth a lot of juicy fruits like blackberries and soft tannin, but there is no freshness. Not sure what to think of it. No score.

Dreamtastings' Eve (WiVino Vinothek, Wittlich): Meaty, animal-like nose, but there could be an imperfection or impurity... On the palate this has excellent stuffing and structure, not excessively concentrated, but the impression of impurity remains. One of the tasters claimsed "it seems like this wine is not living". Closed for business? Or a defective bottle? Not Rated.

Côte-Rôtie vs Hermitage: Very dark and almost opaque. Weird nose of cheese cracker. Dark fruits with coffee and showing some oak. Palate shows a similar profile. On the modern side of the appelation.
