I haven't had another bottle since this one from about a year ago:
2010 Eric Texier Côtes du Rhône-Brézème Vieille Serine Domaine de Pergaud - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côtes du Rhône-Brézème (10/15/2018)
Very tight. Has a beautiful frame and nuance, but do not touch again for a good while. Not sure exactly where this will end up, but it feels like an aristocratic wine. (91 points)
So long as we're talking about 2010 Texier anyone tried the Cote Rotie recently? I was, of course, not planning to touch mine for another 6 years.
Only the 2005.
Have you had the 2005 lately?

I had the 2000 a couple weeks ago, and that bottle was ready to be drunk up. It was a secondary purchase, so can't be sure of early provenance.

Drank second of four bottles in April. Notes say: still a bit closed, hints of blackberries and tapenade. Excellent weight and balance, went beautifully with food. Delicate, probably due to maceration length and picking maturity only, since I don't believe it contains any Viognier.

I've had bottles of perfect provenance and while very aromatic and enjoyable I would drink up tout suite.
2016 Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese feinherb #3 - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer (8/23/2019)
A different take on the same underlying theme as the 2017. Is it just the extra year, the different fuder, I sure as hell don't know. It takes a minute to shake off some extraneous gaseousness (which experts call "sponti") before clarifying and beguiling. (93 points)
Had my last bottle of this tonight and it was a great time. Much more fun than the previous bottle from the spring, but there could be a million reasons for that.
I often pass over the Falkenstein bottles because I don't think they will provide a rich engaging experience, but I'm never sorry when I open them, and they always make me remember how glorious elegance can be. So many wines with this light weight or these flavor profiles would be watery garbage. But somehow these have extra dimensions of energy and elegance. Bravo.

I’ve had several bottles of the 2000 over the last few years and all were a point for my palate.

2009 Clos Roche Blanche Touraine Cuvée Cot - France, Loire Valley, Touraine (8/10/2019)
The best bottle of this I've tried as well as the most balanced and delicate. Really coming into an interesting stage where I might attack more bottles than normal. I perfect monument to Catherine, Didier and those great old vines. (97 points)
We opened one last night and had the same impression. Roughness is gone, wonderful balance and great finesse. Perfect with some roast beef.

I opened the 2016 Julien Pineau Cot Coup d'Jus last night and think the vines (and the wines) are doing pretty well under their new caretaker.

Hm. I have, like, four bottles of the 09 Clos Roche Blanche Cot somewhere in the quagmire that is my crawl space. I've never had a 97-point wine before.

Last night the first of three bottles of 2009 Clos Roche Blanche Touraine Côt 12.5%, all scrounged from different auctions in France. Aromatically on the shy side, red fruits and herbs. Good acid/sweet balance, light tannins, attractive weight. Tasty, but no wow factor. Improved significantly with food. Bears sentimental value, since we tasted this, recently bottled, at the domaine in 2010. At the end of the evening, more memento morish than moreish.
