2020 F.X. Pichler Riesling Loibner Ried Burgstall

Don't see a ripeness designation on this one (federspiel vs smaragd) but the pricing suggests the former. Still, this is a pretty dense wine, a bit primary at the moment but with good minerality and cut. Mostly stone fruits and citrus at this point. Will aim to leave my other bottles for a few years in the cellar as improvements are likely. Always enjoy this producer's wines.

2015 Terre da Vino Barbaresco La Casa in Collina

Very nice, value Barbaresco with crunchy red fruits, fairly smooth tannins, and some nice smoke and balsamic notes too. This benefited from several hours in the decanter. Light-to medium-bodied and a bit "thin," but a very good food wine (aren't most Italians that?), this time paired with a gluten free vegan red-sauce lasagna (better than it sounds). This might improve with more cellar time, but don't see a huge upside on it.

2020 Château Branaire-Ducru

Beautiful nose on this of dark fruits, charcoal, lead pencil, minerals and hints of incense and some high-toned floral notes as well. This was decanted several hours and followed over 2 nights, and really sang after just an hour or two of air time. This bottle was better than the previous and with 10+ years of aging I can definitely see this going up a couple of points. Everything in balance (if a little oaky at the moment, but that will be absorbed into the fruit in time). Medium-to full bodied. Classy wine. One to stock up on and age a while. Rating: 93+
