2020 Château La Nerthe Côtes du Rhône Villages Les Cassagnes

Tasted blind. Over ripe dark plums, over ripe blueberries, wild game fat, cedar, tobacco, old leather and star anise on the nose. The fruits have a bit of a preserved/jammy quality Medium + intensity of aromas. Fruit forward on the palate, which adds flavors of raspberry pie and strawberry jam. Medium + intensity of aromas. Feels like it's from a warm climate; thoughit doesn't get too flabby.
Medium + body with medium + acid and medium tannins. Drink now, doens't feel like this is going to benefit from any further aging.
Call - 3-5 year old Côtes du Rhône. I felt great nailing this blind.

2019 Bettina Schumann Grauer Burgunder Dit is der Clou von't Janze

This is like the combination of an exceptionally good vin gris and something else that I have no idea about.
Ripe yellow peach, ripe apricots, meyer lemon, white pepper, sesame seed, smoke, cedar wood. Smells rich in a great way, with noticable oak. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate is quite intense and firing on all cylinders right now. The fruit flavors are consistent with the nose; just more intense. They are complimented by flavors of wet stone and lit matchstick. Great bitterness throughout. High intensity of flavors. Lovely 30 second long finish.
Medium body with medium + acid. No perceptible tannins. This is one of the best Pinot Gris' I've had from anywhere. Drink now.

2020 Weingut Prinz Hallgartener Jungfer Riesling Großes Gewächs

I agree with Stet. Don't touch this for 5-10 years from now. It has the potential to get great!
As it stands now, plastic, ripe white peach, fresh mint, meyer lemon and yuzu on the nose. A bit of yeast/lees as well. Medium + intensity of aromas. Straw, lemon juice, fresh dough, ripe white peach and ripe melon on the palate. The finish is driven by the melons. Only a medium intensity of flavors at this point.
Medium body with medium + acid. This is still developing. Hold for 3 years from now at least; but up to 10.
