Out of balance. Arkward. Disjointed.

2015 Reichsrat Von Buhl Forster Pechstein Riesling Großes Gewächs

4/10/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Likes this wine: 92 points

This is indeed a strange wine. Honey, petrol, nectarine, orange marmalade and a nose that indicates slight oxidation. But then, surprise, this nose is followed by a pungent lime and grapefruit acid attack, very focused, on the palate.
So strange, but interesting. And changing. Even caraway seeds. Better with every sip. 92-93

Pinot Noir more

4/9/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Likes this wine: 93 points

Dark brooding cherry and five spices. Clove and cinnamon, later violet. Lilac, barnyard lurking behind. Velvety and silky. Scent is amazing, taste a slightly bit short, but a very nice wine.

3/11/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Likes this wine: 90 points

In a good place right now, blueberry, wood aromas. Acidity is is still a bit disjointed and coarse so with upward potential and next bottle in 5+ years.

2018 Richard Östreicher Chardonnay Rossbach

Franken more

3/8/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Does not like this wine: 91 points

Rather disappointing for the hype and price. Merely honey, honey and honeycomb as very strong aroma. Later some fennel. Acid is disjointed, it’s not build into the wine, it comes at the back on its own. Perhaps the overtly strong and simplistic honey aromas come from the very hot year 2018?

2/24/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Likes this wine: 95 points

Supreme elegance. Very light and dancing, elegant and refined. No new oak, so all about purity. Pear, white peach, white blossoms, a hint of fennel and anise. Complex and long but never heavy.

2019 El Enemigo Chardonnay

Mendoza more

2/19/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Likes this wine: 91 points

Nose very nice and complex, 91-92p, palate a bit thin at 90p.
Peach, more white than yellow fruits, vanilla, licorice, lime, nice chili salinity and spice at the very end.
Probably better in 3 years.
There was some left in the bottle and after 5 days in the fridge it was stunning, so great upside for cellaring furher!

2010 Feudi di San Gregorio Irpinia Serpico

Aglianico more

2/18/2024 - Mr. Montrachet Likes this wine: 91 points

This is only 91-92p today as this is clearly too young and in need of further cellaring. Don’t forget: Aglianico needs to mature at least as long like Nebbiolo if not more!
The fruits are still dark and brooding and like a wall and tannins drying.
So I will leave my next bottle for around another 10 years, as I believe this will not peak before 2035.
Aglianico, the grape that much too often does not get the time it deserves to show its best.

Great, but of course infanticide. Last glass was the best. If you open this now I would suggest at least 5 hours decanting, or wait another 8-10 years for 94+p potential.

Very decent indeed and great QPR. Some butter and vanilla, creamy mid-palate and linear acidity to keep everything fresh and boot too broad. Good!

Nice, some oxidation, bruised apples, lemon, lemon curd, pastry. Acidity a bit too harsh. To be honest I expected more for the price.

2019 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie

Syrah more

12/31/2023 - Mr. Montrachet wrote: 91 points

This is just an infant. 91 right now. Potential for 95-96. all dark fruits are interwoven and dense. Already hinting at its regal qualities with the sign of great wines, the contradictio in adiecto : power and complexity AND elegance, lightness.
But also asking myself: is the structure really there for a great wine? It is so lithe, perhaps too lithe..?

And be aware: as nice as it is now, and tanins already approachable: this is still killing an infant. Again I should have not listened to people awarding this high scoring at this stage - it is just not correct and this wine needs to sleep for a decade. Ok, if you like juniper juice you can drink it already now ;-)

Became so much better over two days. So still way too young. But the complexity is starting to show already. Unique flavor profile with almond, white flowers, rosemary honey, licorice, tar, red berries ethereal. Very long.

Just entering it’s drinking window. Yes, you heard right. Though it’s Barbera. Very tight and still a bit harsh tanins. But very good for the 10€ I paid back then. Probably in its in prime in 2026 - but this is my last bottle.

Starting its drinking window now. Lovely pronounced cherry, deep and brooding, some eucalyptus. Very uplifting acidity. Tannins give structure but are approachable now - suggesting you can cellar this much longer if you want. Unfortunates my only bottle.

Silkiness and richness, aerial and floral notes. Strawberry, sour cherry and raw meat in an enticing mixture. Enough structure and herbal backbone. A good wine.
