2020 Château Pradeaux Bandol Rosé

Medicinal and a bit simple upon opening, seemed like maybe past its prime. But it just needed a bit of air - not something I remember from previous bottles. After maybe 45 mind open in the bottle it showed the same vibrant spicy fruit, herbal and mineral influences that I remember, and now with a bit of a savory streak running underneath everything. Lovely, joyous wine.

2006 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras
4/6/2024 - brooklynguy Likes this wine:
Pulled the cork at 4:30 and poured off a taste. Seemed expressive enough so that I didn’t decant. We got into it at about 7:30. This is a truly lovely wine that is expressive and harmonious on both the nose and the palate, and also shows a real sense of place. The wine is more mineral than anything else, on both nose and palate. Smoke inflected stone, and a forest floor element permeate the dark blue and black fruit. It’s a cylindrical and focused nose and it’s suave rather than explosive. This all carries through to the palate which also has this wonderfully firm structure. This is definitely of the Bonnes Mares family of chambolle. I loved it. But those looking for a panoply of fruit and flowers will be disappointed.

2009 Immich-Batterieberg Enkircher Steffensberg Riesling

An expansive, airy, and heady perfume that shows vibrant floral, stone fruit, and intense mineral elements. It’s a gorgeous nose, one that created a quiet at the table when it was first poured. The palate, oddly, doesn’t show the energy that is suggested by the nose, nor the complexity. It’s perfectly fine, but indistinct. We popped and poured and finished the bottle in an hour so maybe it needed more air time? My instinct is no though, and I would open and enjoy these if I had more.
