  Not as impressive as 6 years ago. A bit softer, a little less defined, still impressive wine but just lacking that next level for me.

  Jura + X Tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): Glass: Freaky no name from Grandma's cupboard.
  Popped and poured. Unfiltered deep golden amber color. Beautiful fresh nose with some sweet fruit and oxidative notes. On the palate also some sweet fruit but bone dry, very mineral, deep and dense. Beautiful balance and almost elegant. Long finish. Beautiful! 93-94

  Ganevat Mon Pere Vertical (Chambers): A more nuanced, quieter wine. Perilla leaf, sambac jasmine, meyer lemon. Less concentrated on the palate than the previous wines tasted. It felt like a quite fragile wine, though it did not fade as time passed and stayed much the same.
  
  ABV: 13%
  Closure: natural cork
  Stem: Korin white stem
  Decant: N/A; poped and poured and tasted over the course of ~5h
  Extra info: from vines of Savagnin Vert planted in 1930, on the blue marl of the Chalasses site. Aged for 130 months a la ouille in old demi-muid and barrels after a press à l'ancienne and no racking of the must. A small amount of sulphur is added only at bottling
  Vintage info from JF Ganevat: Beautiful vintage, fresh with a short summer, with a fantastic "arriere-saison." Nine weeks of northern wind which allowed the grapes to concentrate without over-ripening. Beautiful acidity.

  Rich and intense with electric acidity and minerality. Oxidative character is present but not overwhelming. Age has smoothed out the sharp edges, but this drinks like a middle-aged wine. Had this with a 7 course cal-fusion seafood-heavy tasting menu, and it worked wonderfully with just about every course.

  we started off the night with dazzling fireworks, a wine I knew not of, which was generously brought to our dinner (thanks JH!).
  nose of caramel, creme brulee, and peach cobbler with an intriguing floral lift. mouth - rich and concentrated with the weight of grand cru burgundy. meyer lemon, marshmallow, and creme brulee, all intermixed, overall an incredibly concentrated rich flavor that bowled me over. 100% Savignin. A minor revelation. Wow wine.
