Tasting sip from a bottle that was opened a few days before.
Fascinating nose, very ethereal, medicinal in the best sense, complex. On the palate very dense, lots of tannin and grip. Very deep and complex, good tension. Long! Freaky and exciting, certainly not for everyone. 91-92+

2013 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Forster Pechstein Riesling
91 points
Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
Decanted a few hours before the tasting.
Clear pale golden color. Clear, very expressive and dense nose. On the palate you can feel the huge potential, but the individual components are not yet fully integrated. It still has some “sweet/sour” taste. Nevertheless, enormous density and depth, great tension and a wonderful mineral core. Too young, give its 5+ year before you start drinking it and enjoy it over the next 2 decades. 91+++

Clear medium golden color. Clear, developing and pronounced nose. Ripe pineapple, ripe Amalfi citrus, smoky, wet stones and dense. Wow!
On the palate enormous pressure and density! Great tension! Fantastic structure and energy. Still painfully young with ripe Amalfi lemon. Long finish! Waaay better than my last bottle. This is an amazing bottle and has at least 2 decades of further development ahead. 94-95++

Clear, medium golden color. Unfortunately, slightly corked! Nevertheless, you can feel the enormous energy and depth in this wine. Very precise, very deep and dense. Long and vibrating finish! Even though this was a tainted bottle, it made a lot of fun to drink. 93

2016 Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Clos Vougeot

Popped and poured. Beautiful glowing, medium ruby color. Clean, intense nose with a lot of fine red fruit, some herbs and wonderfully balanced.
On the palate beautiful lively acidity, 13,5% abv, high, fine and velvet tannin. Lots of ripe red fruit, oak beautifully integrated as a solid backbone and giving the wine a wonderful texture. Very pure and mineral. It is all about balance and elegance. Long finish. For me, not yet close to its peak, but already quite delicious. Great potential. 92-93+
