  • 2019 A.J. Adam Häs'chen Riesling Kabinett 94 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    Great tension and energy, zesty citrus, cassis leaf, herbs and smoke, intensity without any weight (8% ABV), the racy acidity almost hides the sweetness, outstanding persistence and length.

  • 2001 Château Latour Grand Vin 95 Points

    Deep and brooding, closed even after six hours in the decanter, extremely youthful, crisp Cabernet, twenty years too young, immense minerally energy, layered and deep, everything in the right place, hint of evolution, very firm structure, grippy tannins, excellent length. A marathon runner.
