2019 Claus Preisinger Pinot Noir
2/25/2024 - Joshuachan28 wrote: 93 Points
Initially very reticent and had a lot of barnyard funk in the nose, not off putting but definitely present. Towards the end of the night, it lost all that funk and it opened with pure ripe red fruit, ethereal and effortless wine. It felt like drinking grape juice with no alcohol (in the best way ever). Had a glass left in the bottle and had it 2 days later and it’s still singing. Claus’s wines need a lot of air and I would definitely decant or open this ahead of time and this goes for even his entry level wine - putza libre.

2019 Utopia Patience Ice Cider

While I do not have much experience with dessert wines, this ice cider is incredible. The nose is intoxicating with honeyed and browned cooked apples. In the mouth, it has an incredible fresh honeyed apple juice flavour that is so well balanced by that searing acidity that comes after. Just an incredible experience. I would love to see how this ages. The bottle does indicate that it should be good till 2026, but I do not think that I will have enough patience for it.

2013 Erwin Sabathi Chardonnay Pössnitzberg

Reductive nose but very well controlled (not in the way of Blank Canvas style), gun flint etc. Rich mouthfeel, just lacking a bit more fruit and acidity to help balance the richness. Good length in the finish. All in all a very good charddonay and will definitely keep a look out for this producer.
