Double decanted and drunk over two nights. Plenty of jammy black fruit with liquorice, juniper, earth, graphite, leather, and some peppery spices. Clocking in at 14.9%, the high alcohol is very noticeable on the nose, palate, and sides of the glass. While it doesn’t stick out too much, it is warming and not my style. A big wine on the palate. It’s glycerol sweetness is punchy and while velvety, the tannins are still a little powdery. Not my cup to tea, but for those who like bigger new world reds, this is pretty good and ready to go with a good decant.

2015 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Drunk over four nights and at its best on nights 3 and 4 when it had fully uncoiled. Really lovely notes of green apple, citrus, white stone fruit, pineapple, honey, mint, white flowers, and slatey minerals. Quite special. Took a bit of time to open up, really coming together by night 2 when the balance was en pointe. Drink now if you can let this sit open and breathe for hours, or better still, a day.

2021 Domaine Joseph Voillot Volnay Vieilles Vignes

A lovely clean, young, and vibrant Volnay that was consumed over 3 nights. On night 1, ripe raspberry, pomegranate and a twist of blood orange were the predominant flavours. On the following days floral and savoury notes of raspberry leaf, forest floor joined the party. Lithe, supple, juicy and pretty. It’s open now with fairly light and inviting tannins, but there is excellent and focus which suggests this will evolve nicely over the next decade.
