The Reds<\/h2>\n

2017 Knipser Blauer Sp\u00e4tburgunder, Pfalz – \u00a322.00 – The Great Wine Co., Somerset<\/h3>\n

Notes : Lovely slightly \u2018rustic\u2019 sour cherries nose and palate, touch of violets on the mid-palate, very gentle and subtle take on Pinot Noir, really good. Goes very well with duck !<\/p>\n

2019 Martin Wassmer Sp\u00e4tburgunder Markgr\u00e4flerland, Baden – \u00a314.95 \u2013 The Wine Society<\/h3>\n

Notes : From a warmer region, shows greater extraction and colour, an aromatic nose, sour cherries and red fruits on the palate with marked acidity and minerality. Tannins not obvious, could do with another year or two.<\/p>\n

The Whites<\/h2>\n

2021 Villa Wolf Pinot Gris, Pfalz- \u00a315.99 – Laithwaites<\/h3>\n

Notes : Medium yellow in the glass, a touch floral and hint of lanolin on the nose. Balanced acidity with an underlying slight sweetness and \u2018cooked\u2019 citrus on the palate. Not a lot of character when first opened but developed very well after 24h open to the air. Owned by Ernie Loosen.<\/p>\n

2021 Naegele Riesling Trocken Fass No. 98, Pfalz – \u00a315.99 – Laithwaites<\/h3>\n

Notes : A gentle nose, no trace of \u2018petrol\u2019, dry and really lively on the palate, mandarin and mature citrus notes and feels spritzy, just a hint of sugar on the finish. Very pleasant food wine.<\/p>\n

2021 Weingut Leitz Dragonstone Riesling, Rheingau – \u00a314.95 – Laithwaites<\/h3>\n

Notes : A touch of \u2018petrol\u2019 on the nose, off-dry and lovely balanced citrus acidity on the palate, reminisicent of ripe grapefruit.<\/p>\n

2020 Dr. Loosen \u016criger W\u00fcrzgarten Riesling Kabinett, Mosel- \u00a315.99 – Waitrose Cellar<\/h3>\n

Notes : Gently rich on the nose.Palate full of life, sherbet and mature citrus, medium sweet with fantastic balance of acidity, grown on red slate. Superb and good value. 8% alcohol.<\/p>\n

Notes : Typical touch of petrol on the nose and a slight smokiness, sweet with good acidity, really rich on the palate and the balancing acidity creeps up on the long finish \u2013 \u2018late picked\u2019 8.5% alacohol.<\/p>\n

2020 Willi Haag Brauneberg Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, Mosel – \u00a319.99 \u2013 Waitrose Cellar<\/h3>\n

Notes: Rather odd oily nose, not really \u2018petrol\u2019, not unpleasnt though.Wonderfully rich on the palate, this is a true dessert wine. Long and rich finish, well balanced, gorgeous indu ;gent wine, good value<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
