(d Armailhac) Weekend Dear Friends, A few requested re-order wines to clean up this weekend before we move on to new horizons... All are FIRST COME FIRST SERVED up to the posted limits. Have a great weekend everyone - - Jon Rimmerman *********************** 2002 Zilliken Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Spatlese (Saar) STRICT LIMIT 12/person at this price I'm not sure what is going on with the 2002 Zilliken Ockfener Spatlese but someone has obviously penned or posted a TN somewhere as we've been getting requests for it since November. We offered this wine last fall as a special and here it is again at the same price (something of a joke at this point for top-quality Spatlese with age). 2002 has always been overlooked in favor of 2001 but it's a vintage that is still considered very good to excellent and it would have received far more press if not for following in the footsteps of one of the finest overall vintages in history (similar to 2001 in Bordeaux after 2000). 2005 Chateau d'Armailhac (Pauillac) STRICT LIMIT 6/person This price for a 2005 Medoc of this caliber? This is from an original parcel in perfect condition and the wine is only hinting at what it will be a decade (or more) from now. 2005 Le Petit Mouton (Pauillac) STRICT LIMIT 3/person at this price Same Mouton family as the d'Armailhac, also at an eye-opening price for the 2005 (compare at up to $100-150+, I'm not even counting the absurd prices in NY for $200-250/bottle). Like the d'Armailhac, this is an original shipment from Mouton-Rothschild. Cedric Bouchard Inflorescence Champagne Blanc de Noirs (Val Vilaine) STRICT LIMIT 12/person This parcel is directly from the winery cellar with pristine provenance. If you enjoy a touch of fruit and fizz with your rock and minerality, this is for you... Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Germ8011 Bord7772 Bord7737 Champ6710

Good drinking window : can still be cellared for few years but fully enjoyable now. Do not decant ! we've finished the bottle the next day and it has lost its soul..
Tawny hue, delicate ripe red fruit nose. The body is silky,nicely balanced ,well melted tannins. short finish

Each to their own. Despite a long decant, there were still quite rasping tannins which gave it a rather bitter finish. On the plus side, it's made in a very classical style, but rather like a 1986, it has a very narrow taste profile - it could really do with plumper fruit midpalate. I'll hang on to my remaining bottles but I'm not over-optimistic, since I continue to think that the tannins will outlive the fruit.

Flot moden Pauillac, det bare leverer. Herlig åben næse med tobak, cedertræ, læder, lakrids modne mørke kirsebær og solbær. I munden er vinen lækker rund og fortsat tæt i teksturen. God rank syre og moderate velintegrerede tanniner samt en flere minutter lang eftersmag. Super glas vin, der sagtens kan holde nogle år endnu, men hvorfor vente? På toppen nu og bliver næppe bedre.

The wine looks tawny colored. It tastes like bark and fig. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
