A bunch of 2002 Donnhoff Spatlesen (sorry, doing this from a non-German friendly keybaord). NH Dellchen fine, better than Kirschheck from same town. Thought the SB Felsenberg was somewhere in-between. Still some room to grow, but I preferred them young. Note to self: stop aging these wines...

'90 Ch. des Fesles 'La Chapelle' was good but not great. I preferred the '88.

'01 G. Mascarello Villero is drinking well young. Very, very pretty in a Jane Birkin sort of way.

'98 P-J champagne was much better than expected, if a tad sweet.

And 2002 Metier Shiraz-Viognier - wow, really, really good. Proof that the grapes can work in Australia.

Vilmart (Grande Reserve) and Pierre Peters - same as always, good aperitifs both.
