2011 Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Großes GewächsNahe more |
8/8/2015 - KKR75 Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank this at dinner in a local restaurant in Portland with my host friend David. Popped and poured. This is my 2nd time ever I've had a German wine, and I was massively impressed. At first I was doubtful about the scent (aromas of petroleum, which, even typical of some Rieslings, I am not a bit fan of). But then, the attack on the palate, midway through, and finale are all moments of intense pleasure. What struck me (in a very nice way) was the fizziness on the attack, this freshness gave it a touch of acidity and was very welcome. The finale is very long, and makes you beg to take another sip sooner rather than later, just to carry the dream. |

1993 Domaine René Engel Clos VougeotClos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
9/30/2014 - KKR75 Likes this wine: 94 pointsPopped and poured at my local restaurant in Paris. This is the 3rd bottle I've had in 2 years, and this one takes the cake. On the nose, there is some reduction, but that suggests good conservation and longer life. And I was not wrong: On the palate, and explosion of leathery flavors, with subtle white pepper spices, reminiscent of a good Vosne. The tannins are extremely well balanced. Enough, but not overwhelmingly so. The finale is long, very very long, lasting well over a minute. It's almost too hard to wait for the finale to dissipate before taking another sip. Rinse and repeat... |

10/19/2013 - KKR75 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis wine still shows a lot of strength and youth. It looks violet-colored, body is medium/full. Aromas of typical berries (black, red) and stoniness are present here (stoniness seems to be the norm for 06, but less present than 08s, for example). |

10/5/2013 - KKR75 wrote: 92 pointsStunning wine, for a villages. Easily drinkable right now, it might get more refined over 2-3 years, but still, pop it and enjoy it. In my opinion, this is better than a Gevrey villages from Rousseau. |

9/27/2013 - KKR75 wrote: 96 points4 years ago, Mr. Levenberg wrote a tasting note on this wine, that still holds true today, so I will not paraphrase what he wrote. I do wish to point out, however, that drinkability seems to be at its peak right now, and I would not hold them off too long in the cellar. |

2006 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de TonnerreChardonnay more |
11/20/2012 - KKR75 wrote: 91 pointsThis is not your typical Chablis, especially not Tonnerre. BUT, it drinks really nice right now. The saline and lemony aromas are there, but on the palate, it lacks a tiny little bit of acidity (for a Chablis), but makes it up by having an ample breadth of tropical fruit flavors. The finale is ample and gorgeous, medium to long lasting. |

10/18/2012 - KKR75 wrote: 90 pointsThis one was supposed to be an absolute knock-out. Having drunk many d'Auvenay whites before, and Chevy's from various vintages, I knew exactly what to expect from this bottle, and that is sheer depth, great minerality, toasted hazelnuts, lemon-y hints, etc.... the flavor breadth should've been amazing, and so should've been the scents. |

5/31/2012 - KKR75 wrote: 93 pointsVery sexy nose, compounded by a full, toasted bread taste on the palate, and a nice acidity on the finish. The acidity on the finish might be at times overpowering, clearly indicating that this wine has more to give (but not a whole lot). I say drink up by 2016. |

12/1/2011 - KKR75 wrote: 95 pointsAbsolutely mind-boggling sense of depth, acidity, and citrusy flavors. This is one of those wines that has aged extremely well for 4+ years, yet show stunning youth and growth for the years ahead of us. The bottle was downed pretty much by myself (wife had a small glass) in 1 hour exactly, without decanting, and it was ridiculously good. Really, white wine at its finest. |
