Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2005 Thanisch & Son Lieserer Niederberg Helden Riesling Spätlese trocken 88 Points

    Mature and still nicely fresh wine with good minerals and some petrol impressions. Good acidity and a slight touch of sweetness.

  • 2005 Saint Cosme Condrieu

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Condrieu

    Special and mature wine, but for some of the (more or less experienced) tasters it was their favorite beside a Riesling and an ok Burgundy. The bouquet shows anise and some oak as well as mature aromatic fruits. On the palate the same. Ok acidity. Overall a very special wine which is not dead yet, but probably has been better. No score.

  • 2009 Jean-Claude Boisset Beaune 1er Cru Vignes Franches Blanc 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

    Just some short notes. In the bouquet honey and flowers. On the palate a touch of sweetness and fresh acidity. A slight touch of vanilla. With more air time and at a slightly higher temperature a firm amount of ripe pineapple became quite evident. Clean wine which can still last for a few years.

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2012 Maison Albert Bichot Beaune 87 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune

    The bouquet is a bit rustic with barnyard and autumn flavors and red berry fruits. Same on the palate. Firm and ok acidity, some slightly sticky tannin and licorice. Some pleasant bitterness in the finish. Can easily age a few more years. 87+

  • 2010 Bruna Grimaldi Barolo Camilla 89 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    In the bouquet cherries and some autumn forest. Same on the palate. Full bodied and juicy. Some leather and coffee and a good length. Firm acidity and tannin. This bottle is much more locked than the ones I tasted before. Is the wine closing down? Have a few more, so there will be a follow up. 89+

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2011 Bodegas Volver Monastrell Tarima Hill Old Vines 89 Points

    Spain, Valencia, Alicante

    In the bouquet dark berries, cherries and yoghurt impressions. On the palate firm dark berry fruits, full bodied, good acidity, some pleasant sweetness, eucalyptus, vanilla and coffee. Good and round tannin. Already pleasurable and definitely a future of several years.

  • 2000 Château Montus Madiran Cuvée Prestige 90 Points

    France, Southwest France, Madiran

    Rustic bouquet with some barnyard, cassis smoke and green bell pepper impressions in the bouqut. On the palate firm and good acidity, dark forest fruits, the tannin is still a bit sticky. There is vanilla and a hint of eucalyptus as well. Concentrated and full bodied wine. Much better than the previous bottle I drank. Good future of several years.

Flight 6 (2 Notes)

  • 2000 Château de Fonbel 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru

    Not so many notes. The bouquet is beautifully mature and shows some barnyard and rustic flavors. On the palate quite mature but still juicy red and dark forest fruits as well. The wine is fully mature now and in fact a bit better than I expected. Drink within the next two years is probably wise.

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien

    Mature and rustic, refined bouquet. Mature cassis and other dark and red berries. Some autumn forest. Some barnyard impressions also on the palate. Mature and elegant wine. Completely ready now.
