Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2001 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese trocken 92 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Ripe and rounded yet dry, wonderfully integrated acidity, slightly waxy, peaches, slate, great length, great style. Now - 2011.

  • 2003 Masciarelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Marina Cvetić 90 Points

    Italy, Abruzzi, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo

    Big (14.5%) and broad-shouldered, concentrated, lashings of oak but well integrated; deep colour, rich but dry, slightly nutty finish. Impressive but with the intrinsic limitations of the Trebbiano, less finesse than Valentini.

  • 1999 Domaine de la Vougeraie Vougeot 1er Cru Clos Blanc de Vougeot 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vougeot 1er Cru

    Actually quite the opposite of the Masciarelli Trebbiano that came before it. Full and powerful too and certainly not less concentrated, but with all the finesse, style and aromatic richness of the Chardonnay on a great terroir. Stylistically halfway between the steel of Puligny and the fat of Meursault. Has entered its plateau of maturity, but still has lots of potential. Now until 2010+.

  • NV Chambers Rosewood Muscat Old Liqueur Muscat 91 Points

    Australia, Victoria, North East, Rutherglen

    Solera-aged, good concentration, very sweet but balanced by lovely acidity, rich Muscat flavours, long.
