Abts E de Riesling 2009

A aus Abtserde from young vines. Nose unmistakable Keller. Depth of flavour through the roof with tropical fruits lingering in the background. Strength, balance and precision. Could still taste this minutes later...wow.
Drinking this sort of wine is always a privilege and should be done with excellent friends!

@Ira Schwartz was a new one for me too. Seems to have been a one off in 2009 for new vines in the AbtsE parcel. One for the collectors

Raimat

Castell De Raimat Chardonnay 2021

Very interested Chardonnay, instant strong earthy and citrus flavours. Slowly mellows with a clean aftertaste. Just leaves a refreshing citrus twang in the cheeks. Definitely a favourite. Corte €7.60 Comparison: Veiga Naum, so much drier, Veiga lighter and fruitier, Raimat Chardonnay more intense and better long drink — 3 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Obaideh Merwah 2005

Double-decanted the night before; enjoyed over several hours out of red Solo cups. It’s been several years since my last experience with the 2005 Blanc. The extended air treatment ahead of service is now customary for me with the Blanc and Rosé in particular. The entire bouquet has a chance to unfurl. The wine pours a deep golden color. On the nose, the wine is vinous and recalls my previous experience with the 2005 Blanc: redolent of ripe stone fruits, some dried citrus, wild flower honey, echinacea, marzipan and butterscotch. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with slightly bitter, testa/skin coat sort of flavor. Fabulous texture. At this rate, I expect well stored cellared examples to drink well beyond my original assessment several years ago. Drink now through 2045+ — 3 months ago

Billecart-Salmon

Brut Rosé Champagne Chardonnay Blend

She is red-fruit forward, she has brioche touches and sea salt nuances on the nose. The palate is that sort of balance there isn’t a proper word for but gosh it’s there. Finishes slightly toasty with a zip of lemon and a squeeze of cranberry. — 2 years ago

Castell de Raimat Albariño 2021

Easy drinking. Not much experience with Albariño - somewhere between Pinot Grigio and sauv blanc. Subtle tropical fruits and a touch of minerality. — 3 years ago
