Flight 1 (11 notes)
Red
2015 Weingut Bernhard Koch Kirchenstück Pinot Noir
One glass, brief note: one from the village+ range, black berry nose, very elegant and demanding due to the very lively acidity, today this one needs a decent decant, food or some more years in the cellar, *(**- ?), 89+ potential

Red
2014 Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon California
one glass, brief note: way too much influenced by the barrels, sweet concentrated black fruit, coffee, mocha, a silky everybodys darling crowd pleaser, * -**-?, 83+?, i have red about 6$ US price, in germany around 20€!

Red
2014 Château Branas Grand-Poujeaux
One glass, brief note: very well tannin structured, some ripe fruit in the foreground, on the midpalate still young, long, will need at least 5+ years to get more balanced, *(**- +?), 89+ potential
Red
2013 Bodega Catena Zapata Nicolás Catena Zapata
One glass, brief note: a surprise, or is this none? right from the start a balanced mouthfeel, very young with still a little grainy tannin, but promising, very promising, black rich fruit, persistent spicy, deep and a lot of finesse indicating, long+ aftertaste, give this a very decent decant now, slow ox over several hours, or better: some 5+ years in your cellar, **(**-*****), 93+ potential
