Ripe and honeyed nose, spiced peach, good depth; quite dry, with "Ecken und Kanten", energetic, good acidity, spicy Rheingau masculinity, uncompromising, noticeable bitters from the maceration on the skins; good length. Not for everybody, I love it.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Very stemmy nose, high-toned but deep and and energetic; very elegant and minerally, relatively tight and structured, good length. Not really charming or feminine, may be in a somewhat dumb phase.
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Vin de Pays de l'Hérault
Marsanne/Roussanne. Very intense nose, deep, honey, spices, roasted "tipsycake" pineapple; on the palate intense, dry, concentrated and minerally, salty, very rich and powerful, excellent length. Great wine.
Waxy nose, lanolin, deep; on the palate intense and rich, quite vibrant in spite of low acidity, tannins providing backbone, peach; very good extract and length. The heat shows.

Based on 2008, low dosage (1.5 gr/l). Harmonious, intense, floral, Chardonnay-dominated flavours, cool and minerally, fresh, hint of nuts and perfume.
