Domaine Cros De Romet Cairanne Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2010, Ac

At this late date, unbalanced, overextracted and almost tasting like port

Domaines Schlumberger Kessler Riesling 2007, Ac Alsace Grand Cru

Julian was right, it held just fine to 2021. Beautiful coloured like autumn leaves, it had great length and complexity but hadn't gone around the bend, not having any overaged or oxidated notes. A real treat

Byron & Harold Rose & Thorns Shiraz 2020, Great Southern

Reva Dolcetto D'alba 2022, D.O.C.

Château Des Moines 2009, Lalande De Pomerol

At it's prime now, the age upped it's complexity nicely. Very smooth, with the cedar aspect coming a bit to the fore. Old world in a very good way.

Vineland Estates Elevation St. Urban Riesling 2011, VQA Niagara Escarpment, Niagara Peninsula

Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2009, Docg

G.Marquis Chardonnay The Silver Line Niagara Stone Road 2019, Niagara On The Lake

A bit of a throwback to the well oaked and ripe fruit style of the past but a pleasure due to its fine balanced. A hint of sweetness from the fruit and oaky butter but balanced by a touch of cold climate crispness (less than the norm). No need to age further, ready to go.

Thirty Bench Riesling 2014, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula

Tilenus Envejecido En Roble 2007, Do Bierzo

Still holding, still elegant and balanced and at least a couple years left in this.
