2010 Château Pontet-Canet Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

K&L Grand Bordeaux Tasting: This wine feels a little heavy-handed with its lush, intense fruity palate. I wish more was going on here besides that big fruit (though I would not characterize it as jammy). It's a little boring for me.

2021 Pierre Gonon Chasselas Vin de France

Boozy Brunch (Foreign Cinema & Noe Valley Wine & Spirits): Bright, refreshing, green apple and pear notes on the palate. A little roundness and oiliness, but pretty good acidity. I didn’t detect any oak on the palate. Not the most complex or interesting wine, but pretty good.

2009 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon La Croix Boissée Cabernet Franc

October 2023 Loire Dinner (Mathilde - SF): Very interesting to drink this side by side with an '09 Clos Rougeard Le Bourg. While the Bourg was silky, powerful, yet elegant, with a long finish, the Baudry had more complexity and texture at the front end. A little more funk, a little roughness around the edges. Both were fantastic, though the Baudry could probably use some more time to smooth out the edges. Yum.

2020 A.J. Adam Hofberg Riesling Kabinett Mosel Saar Ruwer

9/6/2022 - ylkim30 Likes this wine:

Day 1: I love the light-footed intensity of this wine. From pop and pour, the residual sugar is nicely balanced by the electric acidity. Juicy fruit and a citric finish. The structure is just really nice and precise. The nose is a little mute, which may be the wine beginning its shutdown phase or just something unique to my bottle.

Day 2: The nose is opening up a little more. The citrus note has subsided and I'm getting more white fruit notes. The lively acidity remains fairly vibrant.

Days 3-4: Remains vibrant and vinous. Doesn't really start winding down until Day 5.

I'm wondering whether 2020 might be shutting down in general, but I will try a couple of other 2020s in the coming weeks.
