Light gold in color. Subtle nose of ripe apples and baked brioche. Fine bubbles, nice balance but a bit short in the finish. Easy drinking Champagne but in the current phase there are better alternatives for less money. Bottle Deg Oct 2012.

Wonderful DomP. Light yellow in color. Nose shows smoked flavors, toasted bread, lime and apples. Very elegant almost light but at the same time long and multifaceted. An enormous wine and so addicting. Much better than the 2003. Amazing now and in the next 10-15 years.

Golden ripe color. Nose shows cooked apples, caramel and yeast. Quite a heavy and rich Champagne, but likely among the best produced in 2003. Most definitely much better than DomP 2003. As the weather was 35 Deg. Celsius this was not the right Champagne, to maskulin to heavy but still a superb bottle. Drink now - 2022

Light garnet. Nose of leather, cherries and chocolate. Smooth, long and highly elegant wine. Reminds quite a bit of a mix between St. Julien and Pauilllac. Great wine. Now fully mature

Served blind. Still deep red. Nose of eucalyptus, horse saddle and cherries. Has something flawed so I initially tipped on Heitz Martha's. After some time in the air it started to develop and the somewhat pungent smell started to disappear. Initially I was hoping that the ugly duckling will turn into the beautiful swan...unfortunately it did not. Still was an ok wine, but at the same time the 1985 Martha's is a frustrating undertaking. So far I only had one bottle with 98pts and the rest were flawed or in the low 90s.

A wine I am quite familiar with, and the last ones were always quite mature. This specific bottle was perfect though. Red berries, cherries, and sweet chocolate. Wonderful balance and long. Now fully mature but just amazing to drink. Great stuff

Seved blind. I initially guessed a 2007 or 2008 Shiraz. Was I wrong...! Dark color. Nose shows sweet dark fruit, mint and dark 90% chocolate with hints of pepper. Still quite a chubby baby with an enormous potential. Decant or better wait 5 more years...

Sweet dark berries, typical cab but quite driven by fruit and high alcohol. A solid wine but for me too much and the high alcohol is too present...drink now

Dark color. Nose of leather, dark berries and cassis. Still very young and tarty. Long and very complex. Starts to open up after some time but definitely needs to rest for another 5-10 years. I can see RP 98/100 in the future. At the moment still very backward...

An intermezzo to match the Rosemary sorbet. Great wine, quite classical and not overdone. Easy drinking Chard.

Dark red fruit. Sweet raspberry, vanilla and herbs. Quite a modern wine which is also high in alcohol. Want to retaste when the weather is cooler, for 33 degree Celsius weather was just too rich

Nice classical Bordeaux style Sassicaia. Still in an early phase of its drinking window. Goes down quite easy. Elegant and multilayered. Good Stuff!!!

Easy drinking JJ Prüm. Hints of petrol, good acidity and long finish. Maybe a bit on the sweet side. Still young. drink over the next 20 or so years

This was quite disappointing. It showed more like a Kabinett than an Auslese. Quite thin with low residual sugar. Almost had some fizz to it... need to retaste but was not convinced by this bottle
