2021 La Vizcaína Bierzo Lomas de Valtuille El Rapolao
5/12/2024 - pgordon62 Likes this wine: 91 Points
Started with a dark, Bretty, reduced profile. Blackberry, violets. Tannin a little coarse. Less savory than previous Raul Perez wines I have tasted. A night in fridge brought the pure fruit to the foreground and added earthy forest floor. Quite refined. Very Cote Rotie-like. I will wait 2-3 years before opening another bottle.

2021 Weingut Stadt Krems Riesling Reserve Steiner Ried Schreck Kremstal

A lovely petrol note, under-ripe peach, stoniness, hay. Crisp but slightly off-dry. A slight effervessence helps counter-balance the RS. Slightly oily and dusty texture. Some ripe melon emerges. More open than most Austrian Rieslings of the same vintage. Almost a German style. Very enjoyable.

2015 Domaine Charvin Châteauneuf-du-Pape
5/11/2024 - pgordon62 Likes this wine: 90 Points
Started rather browned in color. Pronounced cedar, allspice. Tannin finely coating the whole mouth. 30 mins brought raspberry, strawberry, printers ink and a darker color. Spicy finish with a little heat. Will the fruit outlive the tannin? An enjoyable wine but lacks a little texture, depth and complexity. Fingers crossed for positive development (as I have another 5 bottles).
