1995 Château Haut-Brion

Ethereal nose. All that elegant Graves can be. Smokey velvet , dark cherry, sour cherry, aged wood, scents of an old castle. One of the better Haut Brions I have had, though a little lean after an hour in the middle range of fruit expression versus acid balance. A very full and delightful finish. No decant.

2014 Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin

In magnum, ready to go. Even a tad of tawny color on the edges. Delicious though quite straightforward, as their fruit-forward style can be. Not New World, but fruit pleasing and not complex. Definitely a Villages wine and enjoyable with food. Gevrey rusticity a bit, but mostly just soft, sweet Pinot tones with an age-tinged middle red fruit profile. Drink up.

2018 Kolfok Blaufränkisch Güterweg Neckenmarkter

I normally tend more towards Pinot-leaning style of blaufranksich, not minding the Syrah predominant ones if elegantly done. This wine started out with a fun, young fruit taste at cellar temp but later warmed up to feel like a 2018 dark skinned heavier fruit wine. Plum, wood, cassis, and sous bois, with the light pepper and slightly skank notes.
