Introduction

Some bottles from my cellar. For all participants except me, it was a completely blind tasting with no particular theme.

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2009 Schloss Lieser Riesling Kabinett 87 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Beautiful bouquet with minerals and some petrol. On the palate minerals and petrol as well, some candy flavors, a touch of pleasant sweetness and good acidity.

  • 2009 Schloss Lieser Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett 88 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    In the bouquet a bit more locked than the basic Kabinett, minerals as well and no petrol (yet). On the palate pear, good acidity and some pleasant sweetness. A bit more focused and more minerals compared to the basic Kabinett. Beautiful wine in its early maturity stage. Can easily last until 2020+ 88+ for tonight

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

Flight 3 (3 Notes)

  • 2013 Castello del Poggio Dolcetto Monferrato 83 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Monferrato

    Lactic bouquet with a lot of cherries, red berry fruits and some mint. On the palate primary cherries, a firm amount of ok acidity and some slightly drying tannin. Ok quite basic wine.

  • 2011 Cantine San Silvestro Barolo 87 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    The bouquet is still a bit locked, but there are some cherries. On the palate cherries, some salty licorice, firm acidity and tannin. Day 2 the wine was much more open and friendly. A light weight Barolo. Nothing to write a book about, but certainly an ok wine. Waiting one or two years is enough.

  • 2004 Cantine Bonacchi Brunello di Montalcino 87 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    In the bouquet dark forest fruits, some cherries, earthy flavors, some spiciness, coffee, chocolate, truffle and a touch of barnyard that blows off after a while. On the palate a mature wine with still some dark and red fruits like blackberries, some earth, firm acidity and tannin with still some bite. Not extremely complex, but certainly a very ok wine. Ready now and the next few years.

Flight 4 (3 Notes)

  • 1999 Château Bellegrave (Pomerol) 87 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Beautiful and mature bouquet with earth, leather and tobacco as well as a bit rustic. On the palate mature with chocolate, but also still some dark berries and spiciness, good acidity and slightly sticky and drying tannin. Fully mature wine and completely ready, but no real hurry either.

  • 1999 Clos René 87 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Mature bouquet with some cassis, earth, mushrooms and forest floor. On the palate also mature and not extremely concentrated, some red fruits, chocolate, spiciness, earth, ok acidity and slightly drying tannin. The wine is at its peak and although the tannin still has some bite the wine will not improve anymore. Drink within 2 years is probably the wisest thing to do.

  • 1999 Château Les Ormes de Pez 89 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe

    At first the bouquet is a bit dusty, but there are ripe mainly red berry fruits as well. A few hours later earth, beautiful oak and some smoke also. On the palate creamy red fruits, some spiciness, salty licorice and espresso, firm but good, juicy acidity and pleasant mature tannin. Completely ready now and the wine will not improve anymore, but there is also no great hurry. Drink within the next two years. 88 – 89 still, but it can only go down.

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2001 Domaine Cauhapé Jurançon Noblesse du Temps 91 Points

    France, Southwest France, Jurançon

    Concentrated bouquet with orange peel, tangerine, polishing wax and caramel. Same impressions on the palate, a firm amount of sweetness, nicely balanced by lemon acidity. Age is beginning to show just slightly. Still a beautiful and concentrated wine with good freshness.

  • 2005 Château Doisy-Daëne 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac

    The color is still very light golden yellow. I did not make many formal notes on this wine. Elegant bouquet with yellow fruits. On the palate honey, apricot and a good amount of acidity to balance the sweetness. Really lovely and elegant wine. Still youthful. 91+
