  • 2013 Caveau de Bacchus Trousseau Arbois Cuvée des Géologues

    Very much enjoyed this guy. Drinking well now and will be served well by its acidity over the next few years.

    Pale cherry color, not opaque; bright red fruit nose, strawberries, grassy, a bit funky; light body, medium+ acidity, light if any tannins; dances on the palate with bright red fruits, strawberry, light black pepper bite, some funky grass yet still polished and certainly not rustic; medium finish on a bright note. Very lovely wine that would pair well with a humble meal of light cured meats and cheese, or a dressier salmon dish. Pop and pour serves well, does not benefit from significant air; serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

    $25.

    This checks a lot of boxes for me in the daily drinker category. Great wine here. Big and a bit tough at this point. Give it a 60-90 minute decant or, ideally, a few more years to unwind.

    Medium-plus acidity, medium-light body, bright red fruit and cherries that dance in the mouth, coupled with some earthy Morgon notes and a bit of pine freshness. Unremarkable finish.

    $26.

  • 1988 Schloss Schönborn Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling Spätlese

    Woah, kick in the ass of acid up front. Mellows out some. In terms of acidity, this could age for many more years but I'm not sure you'd have a lot leftover when it's "ready." Would drink now over the next year. Give it some air.

    Light amber, clear through, minimal green glints; nose of gasoline, lavender candies, some wet asphalt; high acid, medium body, medium sweetness (low for spatlese); mouth of passionfruit, minimal gasoline, some herbal notes, a bit of the lavender candies, but a bit too muted overall; medium-short juicy finish.

    $38 from Garagiste. I'd happily drink again but not at this price.
