Tasted blind. Clear, pale golden color. Earthy, herbaceous nose. On the palate bone dry, a bit unbalanced, nervous acidity, some candied fruit, a bit kitschy. Salty, mineral core, lots of chalk. Medium+ finish. Very interesting, but not my style. Only 10% abv. 87-88

2010 Georg Breuer Rauenthaler Nonnenberg Riesling
93 points
Popped and poured. Clear, deep golden color. Beautiful Rheingau nose, very deep and dense with some petrol.
You can feel the 2010 stingy acidity. It is just close of beeing too much. Beautiful tension, depth and grip. Ripe yellow stone fruit, some lime abd zests, lovely salty mineral core. Beautiful balance and elegance. Very long and lingering. No need to hurry. 93+

2012 Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Tillets
93 points
Tasted blind. Popped and poured. Clear, medium golden color. Fine, elegant nose with some fine reduction, pear and spices.
Bone dry, oak beautifully integrated and only noticeable as the spine. Dense and creamy, but otherwise rather lean and never fat. Some bitter notes, pear, hints of exotic fruit. With air it gains more depth and minerality. Good balance. Long finish. 93+

Tasted blind. Unfiltered ruby color. Nose with some olives and very herbaceous. On the palate strawberries mixed with olives and herbs. Very expressive and extrovert, very fresh (semi-carbonique maceration) and precise. Good tension and substance. Long. 92-93. Such a suprise to see its origin. Never guessed Australia!!!

2018 Vazisubani Estate Rkatsiteli
90 points
Tasted blind. Interesting salmon-orange color. Nose with a lot of ripe and dried apricot and some strawberry punch. Sweet and exciting.
On the palate more off-dry than dry. Raisined fruit, tomatoe, figs, quince, herbs and spices. Dense, intense and quite long. Very interesting experience, certainly not made for everyone. 14% abv are perfectly integrated. 89-90
