2001 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia

Opened and let sit for approximately 1 hour prior to tasting. The bouquet is amazing. Loads of tobacco leaf, black cherry, incense smoke, and warm dry oak. There's a compelling black pepper note that emerges with more air. On the palate it's integrated and balanced with silky tannins and tons of roasted plum, ripe tomato, oak, and baking spices meandering across your palate. The finish is clean with the beautiful tapering feeling that I so love.

2013 Sven Klundt Birkweiler Kastanienbusch Riesling

Popped and poured, shows a pale gold with just a touch of aging. Lots of pear and tart apple at first, with a hint of green apricot. The acid is holding up great, with allows notes of chalk on the palate. Still chugging along, I think this has perhaps peaked but will stay this way for many years.

2012 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Riesling Senior Faß 6

Showing beautifully right now. Orchard fruit, limes, chalk dust for days. No signs of aging. Bright acid holds the ripeness in balance. Perhaps approaching peak and a long plateau.
