2006 Daniel Dugois Arbois Vin Jaune
11/5/2014 - henkka Likes this wine:
I bought this directly from the producer in the summer of 2014. It tasted very good there but now, back home, it tasted even better.
Deep yellow color. Nose is tangy and spicy with lots of nutty tones. The palate is more restrained (if you can use that word with Vin Jaune) than I remembered. It's powerful, yes, but it was very well composed - nothing seemed to be out of place or disjointed. Very long aftertaste. Unsurprisingly this combined supremely well with Comté.

2010 Weingut Salwey Oberrotweiler Kirchberg Rappen Spätburgunder Großes Gewächs

I think this is a beautiful wine already and here I can say with confidence that in a few years it will be even better. It's elegant but it also has weight bringing some authority to it. Lovely.
Bright translucent red colour. Open nose with plenty of red fruits. There's some sweeter fruity notes also in the back. Overall crisp and elegant. The palate is a carbon copy of the nose. Bright red fruit with some bitterness especially in the aftertaste. Robust acidity, too. It leaves a very refreshing, uplifting feel in one's mouth. Excellent.

2010 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Clos du Bourg
1/4/2014 - henkka Likes this wine:
It's been over a year since my previous bottle and there's been some chance. The grapefruity acidity is still there, but the wine seems to have gained a bit more composure with time - it's more whole now.
Curiously, after opening the bottle it reminded me of a BdB champagne(!) with some toasty, autolytic notes on the palate. My wife (with much more precise nose and palate than me) noticed the same, too. After two or three hours that changed and we were in the broader, more succulent honey / beeswax kind of environment.
All I can say that I really, really like this wine and I'm thrilled to hve a few more bottles stashed away.
