858. Jean-Louis Chavy, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Perrières, 2008
Opened just because, and I’d say this is in early-mid maturity. Another 3-5 years for my 2nd bottle, perhaps. Classic Puligny, I think, and …
857. Horst Sauer for Fortnum & Mason, Escherndorfer Lump Silvaner Spätlese Trocken Franken, 2012
The most interesting of Year 2’s neutral whites line-up, and also one of the riper. From Horst Sauer, who is apparently one of the …
855. Winzergenossenschaft Bier Jahreszeiten-Kloster Limburg, Dürkheimer Feuerberg Beerenauslese Huxelrebe Pfalz, 1983
The last, and weirdest, of my Hors Concours case from the WSET. I finally got round to opening it ‘just because’. It was definitely …
854. Domaine de l’Ecu, Gneiss Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, 2013

851. Joh. Jos. Prüm, Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, 1997
[To Tim Jackson – thank you for joining us this evening and for all your questions and sharing your impressions. Good luck with your …
849. Olivier Leflaive, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, 2005
Bought en primeur, and finally opened the 1st of 6 in 2014. Has the ripeness and somewhat moderated acidity of 2005 whites, but still …
845. Frescobaldi, Castello di Pomino Benefizio Pomino Bianco Riserva, 2011, 2012
A split half-dozen courtesy of Planet of the Grapes, with both the 2011 and 2012 vintages. Planting them side-by-side, both were modern styles of …
837. Hugel, Hommage à Jean Hugel Pinot Gris Alsace, 1998
Whilst visiting Riquewihr, Dad and I stopped in at Hugel’s excellent tasting room, and this was a good example of a fully-mature, rich Pinot …
