Cardinal Cusanus Stiftswein/St. Nikolaus-Hospital
Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling 2021
Star bright green gold. Yellow apple and honey lead the inviting nose. Bright, tingly acidity -- particularly high for a Mosel -- leads the medium light palate which echoes the nose and adds white peach and honeysuckle. Finish is long and luxe, but it's that phosphorus acidity that really rules. All perceived sweetness is well balanced making this an excellent choice for all fare save for the most fishy white fish (pork tenderloin is a natural, of course). Drink now through 2036. — 2 years ago

Jean François Mérieau
L'Alliance des Générations Touraine Cabernet Franc Malbec
Vintage 2015 | 60 % Cabernet Franc 40 % Cot from vignes that are 30 to 50 years old. 18 months barrel aging, 8 months in bottle. 35 hl/ha. I decanted the wine 2 hours in advance. Medium transparency, cardinal red rim. Red currant and blackberries, full bodied with character, fine acidity. Drinks supple with a bitter touch. This is really good. Certainly for its modest origin. But you can’t say that - it seems - these days because dedicated winegrowers can be found everywhere. | Paired with ostrich stew. — 3 years ago
