Introduction
A showing of the current Negotiant imported wine release. Pencil sharpened and sleeves rolled up…these are by order of tables rather than tasting. It was a bit of a meander around….
Flight 1 (41 Notes)
Closing
As well as the above I also went through the Emilio Lustau sherries but all of the notes were a nominal variation of either lovely or yum & great QPR so I haven't reproduced them here...
2016 Bernhard Ott Gemischter Satz
Austria, Niederösterreich, Wagram
Pretty floral notes, touches of stone (especially peaches) and citrus fruit. This translates to the palate offering a juicy, easy, quaffable though with a slightly short finish

2016 Bernhard Ott Riesling Feuersbrunn
Austria, Niederösterreich, Wagram
Green apple, and lime, a little high toned. In the mouth the wine is juicy, tangy and tight though it's also almost a little off dry - there is richness here as well as a little warmth on the finish. Time should lend complexity.

Austria, Niederösterreich, Kamptal
A little green with slightly sour grapefruit, pear skin, tangy and tight…in fact this is a little too tight for me!

2010 Hugel Pinot Gris Grossi Laüe
France, Alsace
Slightly funky, earthy, gamey almost, a little wild ferment, honey, slightly oxidative. On the palate it was honey, pear, pear skin, bitter on the long finish with a rich mid palate. I find this compelling…it is stimulating…I want to spend time with it.

2015 Georges Dubœuf Morgon Domaine des Versauds
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon
Cream and cherry, slight white pepper…it's quite wet in the mouth with touches of cherry but it's a little anonymous for me.

2015 Georges Dubœuf Morgon Côte du Py Domaine de Javerniere
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon
Ripe cherry, slightly reductive with touches of nail polish. Tight, sour with the tannins drying the front of the palate…it feels like it is trying a little too hard.

2014 Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux

Rick, ripe blackcurrant fruit, cream and vanilla, sweet spice, wet, juicy, tight but softly textured tannins on the palate but the fruit doesn't carry from the nose - perhaps time? Okay

2009 Château Meyney
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
Despite being 9 years old there is still loads of new oak here backed by over-ripe black fruit, savoury spice. Rich, tight smooth but drying tannins…slightly meaty notes. Bit of a big boy.

2012 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'Ampuis

Toast, spice, dense black fruits and (almost) squid ink, slightly earthy. Juicy black fruits married to peppery spice, quite rich. Silky but drying taninns. Oak not yet integrated, for me but lots of potential yumminess here
