Die Ouwingerdreeks Skerpioen Chenin Blanc Palomino 2021

One of my all time favourites.

Last one of 2021 left in the collection. Fell in love with this wine in 2022 during a dinner at La Colombe. Great characterful wine from the west coast. You can taste it’s origin in the briny/kelp like taste with a bit of stone fruit, chamomille/jasmine and a touch of fennel/anise. Always a bit lower on the alcoho and acidityl, which makes it a great early drinker. Can’t wait to try the 2024 with 99 points.

Weingut Hexamer

Trocken Nahe Weissburgunder 2020

Geiles PLV, ein guter Wein.
Nach unten der Vergleich zu Dollt für 2 EUR weniger die Flasche, da ist sein Pteis gerechtfertigt. Nach oben von Herbstfüllung, Bechtheimer S geschmacklich nicht weit entfernt.

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Dit is voorlopig de laatste die we openen. 3u luchten is nodig om dit aantrekkelijk te maken. Het bal opent met kersenyoghurt in de neus. That’s a first. Maar dan is het klassiek Bordeaux met veel cassis, zwarte bessen, bramen, grafiet, eucalyptus (wat voor mij niet zou hoeven). Zuren verdwijnen met het luchten. Maar dit gaat toch eerst wat jaren achterin de kast, ouderen. — 4 years ago

Lovely to drink with dessert. I taste pear, honey, and orange with tiny little bubbles. Sweet but delish! — 5 years ago

Château Quinault

L'Enclos St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

The nose is simpler than I expected right out of the bottle, but beautiful once it opens up.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, espresso, earth, light forest floor and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Merlot based blend from Bordeaux is drinking nicely now, and feels young, especially on the nose.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. I did not decant it and left it in the bottle. I was actually worried that it will die sooner, but it still has a lot in it. Love to see that. Only after 2 hours, the nose opened up and tannins showed up.

This 26 years old is easy drinking and good by itself or with food. I had the 2010 vintage, five years ago, and I liked it better this time.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Paired nicely with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$100.

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Unbelievable complex flavors in this 2 decade old wine. The more it breaths the better it gets with a bouquet to die for. — 5 years ago
