White - Off-dry
2004 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Nose: Cantaloupe melon, vanilla, green gooseberries and white flowers.
Palate: Honey, cantaloupe and is close to being botrytisized. Minor vanilla but also white pears. Very easy to drink and pleasurable.

Nose: White flowers, minerals..
Palate: Hazelnut but otherwise closed down. Tightly wound acidity. A little licorice in the aftertaste. Shows a little to much alcohol.

Nose: Rotten eggs, wet dog!, burnt butter.
Palate: A little watery but has a little burnt pineapple. Seems very old. A strange wine. Chamomile tea.

1996 Domaine Ponsot Griotte-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru

Fresh and intense red currant and sour cherry nose with a little mint and also buttermilk.
Sour red currant on a very clean and pure, slightly mineral-driven, palate. Long and "clean" aftertaste. A very feminine and elegant wine which develops nicely with air.
Red
1996 Philippe Leclerc Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
95 points
A slight acetone to the nose with dark plums and a bit much oak influence giving a quite powerful vanilla note. With air it also get mushrooms and dirt.
Compact dark plum fruit on the palate and almost vulgar and decadent. However it still presents itself as a wine in a good balance. Powerful and harsh tannins but still in line with a solid acidity.
Red
1926 Larronde & Freres Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
88 points
A lot of acetone on the nose but also with freshly toasted coffee and dark plums. Even some caramel coming through.
The palate has very little fruit left (plums) and mostly has caramel, leather and coffee. A fairly "fresh" wine profile but it is clear that it is an old wine. Not bad.

Ok but nothing spectacular.
Red
2001 Casanova di Neri Pietradonice Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
96 points
Very nice and intense black currant nose with hints of black pepper. Some complexity coming through with air yielding meat/blood, iron and licorice.
Great intensity and dense on the palate with the same black currant flavors. It does however seem a little bit closed down at the moment. Long and flavorful aftertaste.
Impressive but very modern style.
Red
2001 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
96 points
Acetone and sweet dark cherries on the nose with a lot of black pepper and a little coffee.
The palate has a slightly oxidized dark cherry and plum fruit with a lot of sweetness. Very intense wine with extreme acidity and tannin structure. It does however seem balanced and a wine that I will look forward to trying again. It is a very modern wine in this vintage but for me still worth all the praise.
White - Sparkling
1996 Duval-Leroy Champagne Brut Millésimé France, Champagne
94 points
Nose: Intense green apple fruit with dough and baguette.
Palate: Lovely green apples again with a good intensity. Complex flavors showing dough and baguette and a little yeast. Great balance but a little bit sweet in general. However, it just tasted great.
Red
1994 Faustino Rioja Faustino de Autor Reserva Especial Spain, La Rioja, Rioja
92 points
Nose: Sea water, black currant, freshly ground coffee, iron, pine.
Palate: Black currant but in general a little watery on the palate. However, still a good intensity and good aftertaste and balance.
