2017 Domaine Arlaud Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les SentiersPinot Noir more |
4/2/2024 - morv Likes this wine: 93 pointsPerfumed sweet nose with raspberry and red fruits. Very charming and inviting nose. Palate is fresh with very fine tannins and still firm fruit core. I really enjoyed the seamless structure and complexity of this wine - especially mid palate. Finishes a bit abruptly for 1er cru. |

3/7/2024 - morv wrote: 92 pointsNose is initially muted, but detected is some apple, wax, citrus and wet stones. Palate is at first very fresh with a straight and very fine integrated acidity. Midpalate is creamy and lush with a firm texture. Spectacular saline aftertaste which is unexpectly long for Pinot Blanc. This felt very much like a Blanc de Blanc Champagne as a still wine. Very impressive. |

3/2/2024 - morv wrote: 92 pointsFresh nose with wild strawberry and floral notes. Palate with lazerbeam acidity and a gentle almost candies mouthfeel. Reminiscing of Gamay, but calmer and straighter. Aftertaste is phenomenal lingering, longing for the next sip. Delicious! |

2011 Rudolf Fürst Hundsrück Spätburgunder Großes GewächsFranken more |
3/1/2024 - morv wrote: 91 pointsInitial nose was very muted. With some air it revealed underbrush, minerals, cassis, dark fruits. Palate with high acidity and a slight caramel note hinting at evolved age or minor oxidation. Wine felt overall reserved and a bit tired. Nevertheless, a very unique Pinot Noir style. If you have cellared a few bottles: drink them up! |

2019 Bertram-Baltes Dernauer Pfarrwingert SpätburgunderAhr more |
2/23/2024 - morv wrote: 92 pointsThis wine, as most other wines from Bertram-Baltes, needs air. Lots of air! Once it’s opened up and lost some of the distinctive reduction it’s a real treat. Fresh raspberries on the nose and a seamingless, fresh character which is very unique for German Spätburgunder. Tannins are super smooth. Finish is lush and longing for more. |

2/2/2024 - morv wrote: 91 pointsAromas of cherry, cranberry and cloves. Some volatile acidity. Californian Pinot Noir which feels like a resemblance of Beaujolais. Plate is smooth, ver well balanced and juicy. Very enjoyable. Not overly complex, but lush and a crowd pleaser. |

2015 Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne BlancChardonnay more |
12/28/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpened for 48h. Lemon, yellow stone fruit, herbs and a touch of brioche on the nose. Palate is firm with a tight core. Overall nice structure, smooth but tight and energetic. Finish is long and leaves a trace of honey. |

2001 Gaja Langhe Nebbiolo ConteisaLanghe DOC more |
12/16/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 95 pointsElegant nose with roses, floral and a red fruit driven core. Palate is balanced between acidity, softened tannins, red fruit and structure. Wine is at an attractive and very enjoyable stage, but still seemed youthful. This has at least 10-15 years further ageing potential. |

2017 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Großes GewächsNahe more |
11/29/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 96 pointsTasting note from day 2: What a beauty. Nose is delicate with grapefruit, cotton candy, lime and citrus zest with some spices and smoke. Palate is extraordinary, elegant but with power and tension. I find this wine perfectly balanced between Riesling typical acidity, slightly almost unnoticeable bitter notes and salinity. |

2015 Georg Breuer Rauenthaler Nonnenberg RieslingRheingau more |
11/20/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 92 pointsNice nose, of apple, grapefruit and peach. Has an soft mouthfeel and floating texture to it. Wine is fresh with crisp acidity and balanced. Lacking a bit of complexity and yum factor. Might be an off bottle or just still very closed. For the latter, I'd wait until 2027 |

2020 Domaine Leflaive Pouilly-Fuissé La ChaneauChardonnay more |
10/27/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 93 pointsNose offers an elegant tangerine, pear, lemon peel combined with a mineral and floral touch and a slight reduction. Palate is Leflaive typical elegant, lush and wafting. Tingly acidity of medium+ with a nice fruit core driven by saline and savory bitter finish. Very well crafted, this is a fair price in the Leflaive portfolio and comes highly recommended. |

10/12/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 93 pointsNose is intense, dark with strawberry, blanched almond, cloves and earth. Palate is fresh with integrated acidity and finely grained tannins. Medium aftertaste. This is very well crafted and a pleasurable Morey St. Denise in an accessible pricing. |

2020 Domaine Dujac Bourgogne BlancChardonnay more |
9/22/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 91 pointsIntriguing nose of vanilla pod, orange oil oatmeal and hazelnut. Palate is intense with a medium+ body, a sweet fruit core and multiple layers. Finishes savoury with a enticing bitterness and saline touch. Drinks very well already and will gain complexity in the next years. |

2021 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling KabinettMosel Saar Ruwer more |
9/19/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 94 pointsFresh nose with lime, peaches, fennel seeds and herbs. Intriguing. Palate is high in acidity but mellows down by the residual sugar. Very nice sweet/sour play with loads of energy. Probably one of the best Kabinett I ever tasted. |

2020 Rudolf Fürst Klingenberger SpätburgunderFranken more |
9/3/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 92 pointsSpicy, licorice nose with red cherry and oak. Palate is fresh and spicy and still with primary fruit. Finishes enormously salty and mineral. Fine wine which comes from the Schlossberg grand cru. It‘s open for business with a decant, but will gain more finesse with aging. |

2021 Bertram-Baltes Dernauer SpätburgunderAhr more |
7/16/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 90 points2021 was a challenging vintage for the vignerons, not only the devastating flood bit also lots of mildew due to the wet summer season and the fact that vignerons lost a couple of days of nurturing the vineyards. |

2020 Domaine Leflaive Pouilly-FuisséChardonnay more |
7/11/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 91 pointsBright yellow color, nose offers salted, ripe lemon, almonds, orange rind. Mouthfeel is dense, oily, medium to full bodied with a grippy texture and orange peel bitter notes. Finishes sweetly wirh vanilla intermixed with the slight bitter notes. Quite interesting to follow. Will benefit from 2+ years marurity. |

2013 Domaine Jean-Marc / Thomas Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Clos des ChênesPinot Noir more |
7/7/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 93 pointsNote from memory. Nose with clay, rose petals, smoke and raspberry. Very subtle and subtle and serene. Palate was very smooth, lifted with nice ripe tannins. Overall the wine seemed to be still a little closed and not fully developed. Needs at least 3 hours air or better wait for 3 more years. |

2021 Weingut Rings Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Großes GewächsPfalz more |
7/2/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank over two days. Nose is fine with lemon, walnut and mineral driven. Reminds me more of an Meursault than typical Riesling nose. Palate is complex offering a fresh attack with lemon and ripe fruits, the Saumagen is balanced and has a nice calcaire creaminess and finishes saline and with a fine and in nonway disturbing bitter tone. Salivating delicious Riesling currently. Will probably close down a bit, but now is the time to taste the puppy. |

2022 Maison Glandien l'Ouverture BlancVin de France Aligoté more |
6/23/2023 - morv wrote: 93 pointsLight in color, nose if impressive after its freshly opened. Smells of gunpowder, apple cider and hay. Nose opens up after some time and day 2 was not so strongly reductive. Palate is gorgeous, seamless, weightless delicious wine with a finely woven texture and a long stimulating finish. This is fine Aligote. I believe you can open these now or tuck them away 5-10 years easily. |

6/21/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 91 pointsRather light color for Meunier. Nose is subtle with lemon oil, chalk and almond paste. Similar on the palate with a nice fresh acidic cut. This is a harmonious vinous Champagne that is a good companion for light dishes. |

2015 Peter Jakob Kühn Oestricher Doosberg Riesling Großes GewächsRheingau more |
6/16/2023 - morv Does not like this wine: 87 pointsDay 1: 96PP, 93+CT - Quite good ratings made me curious. Colour is bright golden and looks a bit older than expected. Nose is filled with lemon oil, minerals and overall an austere freshness. I found the nose not inviting. Palate is full bodied, nicely structured but with a punching distorted acidity. Finish is salivating and long, but again austere and harsh. |

2021 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Forster RieslingPfalz more |
6/8/2023 - morv Likes this wine: 91 pointsNose is intense with a hinch of ananas, peach but mostly mineral driven, very deep and inviting. Palate is juicy and tensioned, especially midpalate very harmonious and savory. Finish is salty, slightly bitter and feels vegetale/greenish. Riesling at its best, punching well above village level.
