2010 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Real de Asúa

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

5/19/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 93 points

Pours dark ruby with purple. Loads of fruit, mostly black berries. Rich and voluptuous. Lots of intriguing notes, incense and camphor for example. Some Asian spices. Decent acidity, refined tannins but plenty of structure. Surprisingly long. Not the traditional Rioja but still lovely.

2020 Lukas van Loggerenberg Chenin Blanc Trust Your Gut

Coastal Region more

5/12/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 91 points

Pale gold, turning to medium gold with air time. Initially quite restrained. With more air and a rise in temperature it became much fuller. Loads of lemon peel, ripe melon, fine acidity, great balance. Decent length. Good but needs the right conditions.

1994 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

5/2/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 93 points

Medium gold. Decently fresh for its age, still some grassy sauvignon blanc, sharp gooseberry. But overlaid now by beeswax, honey, almond and lots else. An almost oily texture. Long. Well into maturity now but still very enjoyable. A very good bottle, appropriate ageing/oxidation only in this one.

Normally like this wine but this time the previous comments like austere ring true. No obvious fault but not giving much away in any dimension. Lots of acidity though. Some dark fruits.

2005 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett

Nahe more

4/4/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 90 points

Now golden. Needed a little airing to get going, then loads of interest. Citrus still but mixed in with more tropical fruits, lychee, pineapple perhaps. Plenty decent acidity, medium length. Quite rich. Plus that aged Riesling thing, not petrol exactly here but something a bit medicinal. Held up well but seemed to lose its voluptuous aspects over the course of the evening.

Ruby. Plenty of sweet and ripe Pinot fruit. Cranberry, beetroot at first then going into black fruits. Black plums. Plenty acidity, ripe tannins. Good length. Suspect further ageing would have made it less straightforward.
