Flight 1 (7 notes)

White
1994 Kuentz-Bas Gewurztraminer Eichberg France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru
92 points
Blind. Ginger and marzipan, coconut, Turkish delight - feels very correct to its variety. Clean palate with a floral element throughout. Had a lick of sweetness, with the age having dropped some of the richness that would have originally been there. Still has brightness, this is in great condition.
White
2005 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Wintzenheim France, Alsace
89 points
Intense nose, spice, orange peel, lemon and pear. Had richness on the palate as well, it is full but does have cut behind it as well. Good and drinking well now.
White
2008 J.L. Chave Sélection Hermitage Blanche France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
91 points
Floral aspect to the nose, lemon, mineral spice. Not overbearing on the pale had a real mineral steak to it with just a touch of roundness that gives it immediate appeal. Good structure and doesn't show the alcohol element at all.
White - Off-dry
2004 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

AP #21. Mineral, Orange, lemon, spice. Excellent on the palate with fine acidity and a lick of delicious sweetness to it. Consistent balance across its length. Drinking well now to 5 years.
White - Off-dry
2004 Weingut Max Ferd. Richter Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
90 points
AP #23. Passionfruit, lime, a little floral note and some peach. Quite sweet but also has amped up acidity. Good oomph and intensity, medium length. It's a little too straightforward at the moment, but I think it will improve.
Red
2011 Domaine Dujac Charmes-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
91 points
Spice, raspberry, spice, ash and graphite with just a light stalk touch to the nose. After time the floral notes emerge more and it takes on a pretty dimension. Plenty of red fruit power on the palate, ther eis bright acidity to counter the density of the fruit. Good length and the tannins are there in the background to give it some structure.
Red
2010 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
92 points
Tar, menthol, graphite and plums. Bit hard to get much from it at the moment (decanted with a stopper for around 12 hours), it is so tight and just pure structure for the moment. The nose has more interest and I'm sure this'll come around, just tough to assess now.
