2017 Oremus Furmint Tokaji Petracs
91 points
[Blind tasted] - No clue, guessed a white from Spain. A dry Furmint from 60 year old vines from a Vega Sicilia enterprise, aged for 5 months on new French oak and 3 months on used French oak.
A bit of cumin, flowers, honey, beewax, tangerine, slightly oxidative, balanced oak. Interesting but not something I would seek out more often.
High acidity, long finish

2014 Dr. Loosen Erdener Prälat Riesling Großes Gewächs Alte Reben Reserve
93 points
[Blind tasted] - Correctly identified as a Mosel Riesling, but not a the top cuvee from Dr Loosen. Made from ungrafted 120 year old vines from the small (1.6ha) and steep Pralat vineyard.
Subtle, but clearly a riesling. Spicey, lots of minerality, citrus, white peach, a salty note.
High acidity, long and lingering finish, special

2017 Antonin Guyon Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus
91 points
[Blind tasted] - Correctly identified as Cote de Beaune, but I thought it was a Puligny instead of a Meursault. Very flinty on the nose, broad use of oak, toast and citrus. Not very complex, but very a nice. Somebody called it a “a guilty pleasure” and I very much agree.

Medium acidity, very fine tannins. Long finish that keeps evolving

1996 Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulée de Serrant
95 points
[Blind tasted] - Not identified as a Chenin Blanc. What a joy and for me the clear WOTN. Great old chenin profile: oxidative, honey, wool. Keeps evolving in the glass

2017 Poderi Luigi Einaudi Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi
91 points
[Blind tasted] - Not expected to be such a young Barolo. Quite primary of course, but the tannins are very approachable already
