One Weinbach and two lovely from Rhône

Domaine Weinbach (Alsace) has long been a favorite and the acidity of the 2010 vintage really suits them.

2010 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg Clos des Capusines:
BU9670301 (289,90) Pale lemon yellow. Apples and minerals, elegant nose, ever so slightly floral. Fresh acidity, feels lifted by the acidity, very refreshing, elegant apply palate and finish. 91

And everyone that has followed me for a while know that I have some difficulties with the alcohol and sweetness of some wines from the Rhône valley. A friend reported that he found a 16% alcohol Châteauneuf du Pape in the shelf today. Who can drink that? Here was two that I enjoyed.

2009 Herve Souhaut Saint Epine Saint-Joseph:
Pale purple, fruit-driven, blackberries, some spices, naunced and fresh nose. Fresh acidity as well, ripe tannins, elegant texture and fairly elegant and at 13%, balanced. 89

2009 Domaine du Coulet Cornas Bille Noires:

BU5635301 (549,-) Almost purple, spicy nose, blackberries and violets mixing together. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant fruit and body (13,5%), they can if they want in the Rhône valley as well. Long. 90

Sorry for the lack of pictures.
