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

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.

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

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

Tilenus Envejecido En Roble 2007, Do Bierzo

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

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

Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2009, Docg

Tenuta Rocca Ornati Langhe 2006, Doc

Ready now. Still a bit of bite, but fruit is ageing and is just still holding its charm

Dr. Hermann Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese 2007, Prädikatswein

Still holding on. Essence is light and quaffable now, some extra petrol complexity from ageing but not the expected honey notes. Long and very enjoyable

Emiliana Novas Petit Verdot 2011, Colchagua Valley

Really nice and the price belies the quality.

At peak in summer '16: length, complexity, refinement and still nice weight with no funky aged flavours and no longer a burly brute. If you like petit verdot, a winner and worth the wait. Wish I had half a dozen more

Sileni The Plateau Pinot Noir 2012

Perhaps past its prime at this late date 9at peak 2015?), flavours per Zoltan's review however with the juiciness leaned out.
