Behind Closed Doors

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Pessac-Léognan Blanc White Bordeaux Blend 2011

Closed behind a massive wall of mineral for the first hour or two. Slate, wax, exotic spice, cumin and touches of exotic pear on the bouquet. After time a stronger waxy crayon note appeared alongside a more exuberant fresh sauv character. The palette is full with spice notes predominating accompanied with asian pear/lychee with ample complexity and touches of oil and mineral. Not ready for another 3-5 years but with potential to be amazing. Excellent. — 11 years ago

Estate Rüdesheim Riesling 2011

Pretty closed, with good structure, only a bit of sugar behind - precise, flinty with a very nice mix of lime, appley aromas and a quite pronounced note of naphta.
Very, very good.

Kiedricher Wasseros Beerenauslese Riesling

#Rieslings from the #Rheingau region produced in the legendary #1976 vintage are still going strong as was recently proven by this little bundle of joy from a half bottle, no less--that's the good news--sadly this estate closed its doors following the '96 vintage, which makes treasures like this lovely Kiedricher Wasserrose #Beerenauslese all the more precious! #goldkapsel
