• 2013 Peter Mertes Riesling Turmfalke halbtrocken 82 Points

  Germany, Rheinhessen

  Bought at a local Supermarket for 2 EUR as an example for cheap Riesling. Presentet against my beloved Zilliken Rausch Kabinett. Unfortunately the fresh uncomplicated fruit of this cheap wine won against the Rausch... Good QPR but not a wine I would like to drink often. Lacks complexity and depth but you can drink it without any damage to your health :)

• 2010 Zilliken (Forstmeister Geltz) Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett #10 86 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  No real notes taken, will try it again tomorrow. Seams a bit closed today. Despite its high vintage typical acidity it seems a bit broad and fat and not feather like as i had expected it...

• 2014 Finca Flichman Malbec Roble 70 Points

  Argentina, Mendoza

  One simple word: DISGUSTING!!! Not a flawed bottle, simply a disgusting wine! After pouring the nose was quite artificial. This scent vanishes a bit over time, but the taste was artificial and unpleasant too: unripe fruit, not well integrated acidity, unripe tanins and not integrated oak (Chips). Ok, I did not expect much from a 5 EUR wine, but I could not drink more than a sip... Will not improve over time...

• 2009 Viña Cobos Malbec Felino 89 Points

  Argentina, Mendoza, Lujan de Cuyo

  Did not take much notes. Still very youtful Color (purple Reflexes with hints of ruby), nice, full developed nose with medium intensity (nice oak, dark red fruits, smoke), good mouthfeel, medium+ Body and a medium+ finish with lots of dark fruits.
  Nice Malbec at its Peak, which will stay there for several more years.

• 1981 Federico Paternina Rioja Gran Reserva 86 Points

  Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja

  Clear ruby garnet Color, beautiful ripe Rioja nose wih tobacco, smoke, oak and fruit. High acidity which starts to fell a bit apart, quite elegant on the palate.
  Wine is definitively past Peak, but still drinkable with joy so drink up now.
