Bodegas Purisma Conception

Günther Steinmetz

Piesporter Domherr kabinett Riesling

First time with this bottling and I have deep regrets about buying only four bottles. The acidity is extreme. It swallows the residual sugar, leaving just a hint of sweetness, though the sugar makes the fruit burst on the palate and gives the wine density. Shockingly concentrated and intense with salty, mineral depth and a very long finish. This is closer to a generous Grosses Gewachs than my conception of a Kabinett. Thrilling wine! @Lyle Fass is this typical or an anomaly of the vintage? More importantly, do you have anything like this to sell me? — 2 years ago

Great note! Sadly 21 is an anomaly with huge acid and higher ripeness. Like 2010 I would say. I’ve got some 23’s that come close. Especially Goldtropfchen. Email me!

At Maria's. Brought without conception of what it is. A surprising white. Great floral notes balanced with stone and earth tones that keeps going and found. Lively complex and acidic on palate and long finish. Went very well with Bob's ciopino. Well, turned out to be from JR and only two bottles at $43! And says to be patient and wait ten years! At least I know what it's like young! Sure a worthy Italian white that snuck in for a nice surprise when not expected. Half Voignier and half Grecetto! — 7 years ago

Valais Syrah de Chamoson 2018

We continue to discover Swiss wines on the spot .. Pleasant surprise with this beautiful Syrah. Very close to a Croze-Hermitage in design: Crunchy fresh black fruit, violet, licorice, herbaceous touch of mint and parsley, which makes this wine perfect on pasta-garlic-chili served with fresh arugula! Oaky tip well melted. Balance between freshness and density (medium). The honorable finish of duration .. this bottle at a reasonable price can certainly age favorably for two or three years minimum.

On continue de découvrir les vins suisses sur place.. Agréable surprise avec cette belle Syrah. Très proche d’un Croze-Hermitage dans la conception : Fruit noirs frais croquant, réglisse , violette, touche herbacée mentholée persillée, qui rend se vin parfait sur des pasta-ail-piment servi avec de la roquette fraîche! Pointe boisée bien fondue. Équilibre entre fraîcheur et densité (moyenne). La finale honorable de durée.. cette bouteille au prix raisonnable pourra certainement vieillir favorablement deux, trois ans minimum.

La Voûte Saint-Vincent Morgon Gamay 2018

A week after 2019, we taste 2018. Quite similar in the design. With another year, it begin to express, notes of evolution tending towards Pinot-noir and this slightly truffled flavour, dried flowers. Delicacy.

Une semaine après le 2019, on goûte le 2018. Assez semblable dans la conception. Avec un an de plus commencent à s’exprimer au nez et en bouche, des notes d’évolution tendant vers le pinot noir et ce côté légèrement truffé, fleurs séchées qui apporte à la gourmandise une certaine délicatesse.

Muscadet-esque with white peach blossoms, crushed rock and expansive acidity. “Wedding night wine” (Wines of the Somlo region were rumored to increase the chances of conception and traditionally consumed at Hungarian weddings) — 7 years ago
