  • 1978 Remoissenet Père et Fils Richebourg 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    Tasted at the Sorting Table / Glunz event @ Webster's Wine Bar.
    Gorgeously aged garnet/brown color.
    The nose is still very lively. Some nice spice with earth and mulled red berries.
    Palate is elegant and supple. Very nice finish. Excellent balance and acidity.
    Still some life in this bottle after nearly thirty years.
    Depth and complexity are stunning with secondary aromas of leather and charred cedar.
    Gorgeous. First Richebourg experience is a plus.

  • 1959 Remoissenet Père et Fils Clos Vougeot 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

    Tasted at the Sorting Table / Glunz event @ Webster's Wine Bar.
    Beautiful garnet color. Such an experience tasting a wine that's twice as old as myself.
    Lovely depth with gorgeous red berries. Chewy finish showing some signs that's it's time to drink.
    Excellent length with multiple layers in the finish. Subtle notes of mushroom and wet earth are accompanied by a unique sweet spice.
    What an honor it was to sample this juice.

  • 2004 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Brand Vendange Tardive 96 Points

    France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru

    Tasted at the Sorting Table / Glunz event @ Webster's Wine Bar.
    Holy smoke! This was a SPECTACULAR wine experience. Absolutely the WOTN.
    So much going on in the nose. Tons of apples and honey. Roasted walnuts, burnt caramel. So rich.
    The palate is neverending. Lush tropical fruits. Some excellent sweetness on the mid-palate but the acidity holds the wine together with such finesse.
    This is by far the best riesling I have ever tasted. This is absolutely mind blowing. The balance of acidity, sweetness and alcohol is flawless.
    Well done.
