940. Trimbach, Pinot Gris Réserve Personelle Alsace, 2007
Writing a little from memory, as this was served at my 40th, alongside Zind-Humbrecht 2003 Windsbuhl Riesling from 3L D-mag. Mid-deep gold. Beautifully mature, …
918. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Gewürztraminer Clos Windsbuhl, 2007
A highlight of my 2nd Zenith wine tasting, showing a very aromatic wine – which it did to perfection. Classic Alsatian Gewürz, but remarkable …
868. Weingut Hermann Dönnhoff, Oberhaüser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett Nahe, 2013

681. Meyer-Fonné, Riesling Grand Cru Wineck-Schlossberg, 2000
[Signed in 2016: Regards, Félix MEYER] Not a renowned Alsace vintage, I believe – and perhaps a lack of acidity reflects that – but …
669. Harvey’s, Palo Cortado Sherry, NV (2011)
A touch woody, and slightly alcoholic on the finish are the only detractions from an otherwise very good drink. Though labelled “exceptional age”, this …
630. Sanchez Romate, Maribel Amontillado Sherry, NV (2011)
The Sherry Odyssey continues… Another from Romate, and The Wine Society. A pretty good, off-dry Amontillado, very much in the nutty style. Medium-depth copper …
