Germany burg ok w jap food. Both value for money.

My first ganganega blend. Floral. Fresh lime n jasmine.

Tertiary flavor w lemon.n bitter lemon. Bubbles ++

Fresh lemon citrus pear.w floral . Nice ..but w seafood??

Of of the champagne I been wanted to try. Finally. But disappointing below what I expected. Listing still v prominent w lemon n almond ..long finish

Marche wine, fresh floral rose red cherry nose n palate. Mod to high acidic n tannin.

2018 . Fresh black berries, cherries.low mod tannin but still acidic. Floral. Good to pair w asian food n Jap food

Concentrate flavor of lemon, green apple 

clasa gathering. Wow. Such good wines esp the champagne.impressive ( creme-de-la-creme)- 3 impressive vintages blended.lemon, green apple n surprising honey taste. The listing flavor has mellowed significantly cos need ages 10 years before released. Ch Montrose 1998 was surprising still so full of fruits flavor.

Indeed a 1er Cru Burgundy. Next to prestigious Grand cru, this wine has a intense red berry, black currant aroma w a tinge of fresh floral. Long finished. 

First time tasting a > 5 years old Primitivo. Not something I expected. The fresh black plum n currants flavor is less pronounced than younger primi, but it's replaced w a more age Merlot structure w longer finished. 

Muscato - quite miscous n full, honey, fresh apricot n peach w a tinge of nutty flavor at the end.  Typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc, crisp fresh tropical fruits, citrus, melon

2008 wasn't too gd a year. N by time I kept n drank this, that's 18 years later. Moderate aciditic n tannin. Still having some earthy plum on palate w evolving tertiary flavor of tobacco n mushroom.  Good that I drank now, doubt can last any longer

nose moderate  Palate black currant, black berry . spicy, minty. Short finish tough. Acidic ++ A milder version of Shiraz 

this is his tarot card Arcane series One of my fav wine maker.this one is predominant Grenache (80%) w another 2 varietals at 10 % eachm chosen fr diff plots in northern part of South Rhone.more interesting is aging done 1/3 in new barrel, 1/3 concrete and 1/3 stainless steel. Nose still a little restricted, with black berry, black berry n chocolate on both nose n palate. It has ,what I described, a classic " traditional Chinese herbal" taste of Rhone grenache, prob that's similar to the earthly description coming fr tertiary flavor ( this is 2015 vintage). Tanin is smooth silky. Long finished.
