2004 ric Texier Ctes du Rhne-Brzme Domaine de Pergault - France, Rhne, Northern Rhne, Ctes du Rhne-Brzme (10/3/2010)
This is in a beautiful place, having transformed itself in just a few years. Haunting aromatics, lithe, black fruits, olive, rocks, this may last, but I don't know that it will show any better.
2007 Domaine Nigri Juranon Sec Sec Rserve - France, Southwest France, Juranon Sec (10/1/2010)
Nice, correct, but it didn't wow me. It did much better as it warmed from the fridge. Don't serve these too cold.
2002 Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese ** - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (10/1/2010)
Drinking nicely. Very fresh, still sweet, but open for business. I love their Treppchen.
2006 Domaine Tissot (Andr & Mireille now Stphane) Arbois Audace Poulsard passerill sur paille - France, Jura, Arbois (10/1/2010)
Very, very intense, and, as others have noted, very sweet. A little bit goes a long way. There is also a bitter element in the mid-palate that I found off-putting.
2001 Memer Burrweiller Schwer Riesling Sptlese - Germany, Pfalz (10/1/2010)
Holding nicely. Still fresh and pretty sweet. Delicious.
2007 Domaine du Murinais Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes - France, Rhne, Northern Rhne, Crozes-Hermitage (9/18/2010)
Good stuff. This was darker and more intense than the St. Joseph, with a homeopathic dose of brett, just a small hint of the barnyard that added to the package.
2007 Jeannine Boutin St. Joseph Parcelle de Jean - France, Rhne, Northern Rhne, St. Joseph (9/18/2010)
Yes. I loved this. It shows more floral, delicate, and red fruits than I'm used to from St. Joseph, but very convincing; and it picked up hints of olive as it aired. The pied hyper comes through.
2007 Domaine Perrachon Morgon Les Versauds - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon (9/17/2010)
Consistent with the first two. This is lovely. Wish I bought more.
