Jubilee Alsace Riesling 2009
*pic of the white wines* One of the wines I supplied for an annual lunch hosting (co-host this time), along with the 2018 Morlet LpD. 2009 was the last year Hugel used “Jubilee” before moving to “Grossi Laüe”. This is Hugel’s “Grand Cru” selection from their Schoenenbourg vineyard.
Undeniably Alsatian Riesling in the glass from first whiff…floral, minerals, and only slightly TDN (petrol) aromatic driven, but noticeable power. Vintage (and age) has helped this reach a fantastic drinking window where acidity and flavor profile are in balance and not fighting each other. Ripe herb-crusted yellow fruits alongside limestone/mineral in a powerful profile. There is warmth to this vintage and it makes an appearance in how fleshy the wine is (which is great). At almost 16yrs, there is no rush, but this drinking window is exceptional. — 7 months ago

Coteaux Nobles Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013
Started the night with a $6 Sauvignon Blanc from the same maker. Just fantastic. At the end of the night, I ask for a good dessert wine and I get this 12 year old late harvest semillon grown in gravel. Unfiltered deliciousness. — 2 months ago
