2015 Rudolf May Retzstadter Langenberg Himmelspfad Silvaner Großes Gewächs
*** brief notes form wine & dine, no rating ***
Wow! Deep, smoky, complex and multilayered nose. Ripe fruit, white pepper, smoky, good acidity, long and lingering finish. Has at least 3+ years upscale potential. 92+

2014 Château Simone Palette Blanc

Tasted blind. Thought at first Chenin from Loire. A bit vegetal notes in the nose. On the palate rather lean and cool climate. Never thought southern France. My first Simone: Really nice and with lots of potential for another decade. 92+

N.V. Dhondt-Grellet Champagne Premier Cru Les Terres Fines Blanc de Blancs

What an interesting Champagne! Tasted blind. Lots of green and mellow apple in the nose, therefore I thought some kind of sparkling Cidre 😊 On the palate very fine mousseuc, beautiful pressure and good texture. Long, fine and lingering. Lovely experience! Thank you Thomas! 91

2014 Domaine Francois et Antoine Jobard Meursault En La Barre

Deep nose, a bit reductive, noticeable toasting. On the palate nice yellow fruit, medium+ acidity, a bit unbalanced. Overall a bit nervous, but nice. Certainly not at its peak. Give it a few more years. Good finish. 91+

2003 Joh. Jos. Prüm Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese
*** brief notes form wine & dine, no rating ***
Wonderful Prüm from a warm vintage. Interesting, reductive nose with fine petrol notes and ripe yellow fruit. On the palate lots of warm, ripe fruit, but also with a ripe, wonderful integrated acidity. Well balanced and a lovely match with the Cheescake with passion fruit sauce. 90-91
