Henschke

Hill of Grace Vineyard Shiraz 1996

Still a very dense crimson with no tawny rim, at 28 years of age but the tawniness is beginning. A certain feral, Animale, earthy note. Palate is ultra smooth, medium bodied / very savoury yet with a sweetish earthy note with a hint of raspberry. Jancis Robinson was invited by Stephen Henschke to a vertical tasting at the winery in May 2013 to cover vintages back to the late 1950’s. She described the 1996 as “pure hedonism “ and gave it 19/20. Medium plus intensity on the delicious palate with those gnarled old 150 year vines showing through. An absolutely stunning wine - one of the best we’ve had this year. — 3 days ago

Château Nenin

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

We definitely should trust Jancis Robinson on this particular one. I strongly believe this is the great Pomerol ( in affordable range ) ... can’t wait to try “magical” 2019 and 2020. — 3 years ago

Recis Spätburgunder 2008

Unlikely that anyone on Delectable has had this wine. Jancis Robinson ranked this high so i did drive to the winery many years ago boy is this remote. Pinot Noir from Franken is essentially unheard of. Spice, earth, dark fruit, lime. Lost some fruit! Drink up it is my last bottle and it was better years ago. I did see the soil - flat out limestone - like on the best sites in Burgundy. Anyways I would say drink up. Crew Cap! 13.5%. — 8 months ago

Domaine Bart

Marsannay Rosé Pinot Noir 2020

Everything you want in a rosé.Crisp, refreshing, opens up as the meal goes on. This got lost in the bday blizzard but was returned to, time and again.
According to Johnson & Robinson @World Atlas of Wine, Rosé accounts for just 1% in Burg, but is a specialty in Marsannay.
I see why.
