Bordeaux, Mosel and Argentina

1995 Chateau Haut-Bommes; (Sauternes)
Pure gold, clean fruity nos, some apricots and vanilla. Then honey, ok acidity, short length. 78


1999 Nicolas Catena Zapata, Mendoza, Argentina;
Clear ruby, some blackcurrants, chocolate and coffee, elegant, intence yet elegant, like velvet, kind of discreet, well balanced, but not the most complex, but I think it will develop nicely, give it more time. 83


2001 Karp-Schreiber, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese;
Light golden yellow, sour apples, some fatness, minerals in the back, good acidity, elegant and soft mouthfeel, but atypical of Wehlen.....best guess....78


1995 Chateau Belgrave;
Ruby with garnet rim, a bit green notes,bell peppers and herbs under blackcurrants. Good acidity, tannins not fully ripe, quite complex, give it some more years, and hopefully the tannins will calm down. 86
