Ich liebe neben Riesling ganz besonders Silvaner. Dieser Wein ist ein Beispiel aus der Pfalz, wie großartig diese Rebsorte auch bei uns ausgebaut wird. Kräutrig, kraftvoll, vielschichtig und lange am Gaumen! Top Silvaner und Respekt an den Winzer für diesen Wein 👍🏻😎😜. #silvaner #pfalz #genuss #südpfalz #wunderbar

Normally, @doctor_bernkastel 15-years-after tastings always take place 15 years after the vintage, but because of Corona, that didn't work out last year. Therefore, the 2007 vintage came in selected bottles and, with an excellently cooked accompanying cuisine, on the table right now. And it was a wonderful evening. The Champagne from Eric Isselé (Cuvée Tradition Blanc de Blancs 2007) already impressed us with its finesse. It became great with Georg Breuer's Schlossberg 2007 next to the Clos St. Hune from the same year. Only Koehler-Ruprecht's Saumagen RR failed to inspire. It seemed much more tired than the powerful, punchy, complex wines from Alsace and Rheingau. Bernhard Huber's Schlossberg followed, then Domaine Tortochot's Mazis-Chambertin and Bernhard Huber's Wildenstein. We would not have thought that wine 1 and 3 came from the same winery. All three wines were on a good, but not on the exceptional levellike the Trimbach an Breuer. Vollenweider's Wolfer Goldgrube Spätlese in Auslese style with great drinking flow and finally Zilliken's Saarburger Rausch Riesling Versteigerungs-Auslese, which @marcherold brought with him, were wonderful. Of course this vintage does not provide punching acidity to the Auslese, but the balance of these two wines was breathtaking. What a beautiful evening!

A cozy Syrah evening with friends, where it quickly became clear which wines have room for improvement, where you have very good wines of the middle class to upper class and where the world class begins. In this tasting world class came exclusively from the Northern Rhône. You only had to ask yourself whether you saw the 2006 Clape Cornas or the 2006 Allemand further ahead. 1999 Guigal Côte Rôtie was also a wonderful wine. Likewise the Jamet Côte Rôtie Fructus Voluptas developed to the rather younger consumption. Then came for me Richeaume with the 2010 Les Terrasses, which could have benefited from a few more years of cellar maturity, but still impressed me very much. Likewise, the Odysseus pair of Bodegas Puig Priorat. Overall, a very nice performance show of this beloved grape variety.

Part 1 of 2: Yesterday I put together an Italian wine evening of 12 wines for friends. Except for the two sweet wines, it was mostly 2011s and a few 2010s. So at least 10 years old. Overall, it was a very mixed evening with clearly more lows than highs. Overall, most of the wines seemed too broad, too sweet and often scratchy and unharmonious. Above all, it quickly became obvious that these wines are best consumed only with food and are much less fun solo. Now 2011 was certainly a difficult year, especially in the north.

The 2011 Caroline von Pranzegg is probably past its best. The Caroline always seems very reductive at the beginning, yesterday it was rather oxidative with quite a lot of extract and tannin. I quite liked the wine, but as a soloist, the cuvée of Chardonnay, Viognier, Manzoni bianco and Sauvignon Blanc was too powerful, to which the 14.5% vol. also contributed. The 2011 Vie di Romans had cork and since I only had a single bottle, I then had the 2010 Vie di Romans Rive Alte Chardonnay. The wine did not give the impression of a Chardonnay at all. It tasted more like aromatic varieties like Sauvignon Blanc or Malvasia with lots of fruit. It also seemed rather ponderous and not very fresh.

In contrast, the 2011 Ageno from the La Stoppa winery in Emilia was much fresher and above all more exciting. A cuvée of
90 % Malvasia di Candia Aromatica 90% with Ortrugo & Trebbiano, fermented on the skins for four months, a fantastically diverse aromatic wine from lots of flowers to candied and dried fruits to medicinal notes of cough syrup, yet bone dry on the palate with silky acidity, lots of extract and good length.

The 2011 Quirein from Pranzegg showed the depth and velvetiness of the Lagrein variety, the ripe black fruit, but also quite a lot of volatile acidity or glue notes, which became stronger and stronger with warmth and were no fun. The 2011 Nervi Gattinara Valferana did not spoil with drinkability either. The Nebbiolo seemed rather broad, the tannin still rough and the wine not at all balanced.

Part 2 of 2: We continued with a pair from Tuscany, and a wine with rarity value compared to a wine from a trendy appellation. The 2011 Podere Poggio al Gello Pugnitello comes from the province of Grossetto and is produced by Giorgio and Alda Chiarini Nelli. Pugnitello, the little fist, is an autochthonous grape variety of the region, which was once thought to be a variant of Montepulciano. This was a dark, slightly earthy, concentrated wine, but it seemed rather almost as sweet and concentrated as a Governo Toscano. I came across the 2011 Podere Scopetone Brunello di Montalcino years ago because it was part of the range of Marco de Grazia, a successful wine merchant who founded the Etna winery Terre Nere a few years ago. I had always liked the Brunello in recent years. Not a highlight, but a rock-solid Sangiovese. Yesterday, you couldn't really feel the character of the Sangiovese, I just missed the acidity and tannin structure. I decanted the wine on Wednesday and by Friday it had degraded considerably both in the small bottles and in the original bottle, smelled unpleasant and was still quite good on the palate, but nothing special.

In contrast, the 2010 Casal Vegri Decennale Valpolicella Classico Superiore from Ca' la Bionda was a blessing. The wine smelled of red and dark berries with some ripe green notes and a little iron. It seemed almost austere, but fresh at the same time. On the palate, it could have offered a little more edge, it seemed almost a little too well-behaved and addicted to harmony, but pleasantly dry. For me, this was the best red wine of the evening. The 2010 Occhipinti Siccagno Nero d'Avola was not convincing. The wine seemed a bit tired, oxidative, with a sharp acidity and some cooked fruit and hardly any tannin. This is not at all what I usually know from Arianna Occhipinti. Here, too, there was too much sweetness and too little freshness. And if you taste the 2010 Contrada from COS next to it, which we drank in the same round in January, then they are two different worlds.

An evening with friends via Zoom. Final Part 7.
...
To finish things off fresh, I served pears in white wine with cardamom & crème fraiche. This was accompanied by something that is still largely unknown in Germany. It was a »Fattoria Zerbina "Tergeno" Ravenna Bianco 2914« from the magnum. I had received the bottle as a gift from winemaker Christina Geminiani in December 2017 when I visited her. The woman is an institution in Italy, because she vinifies not only excellent Sangiovese, but especially great sweet wines from the Albana grape variety. And - she was one of the first women in wine.
.
The Tergeno is a pure Albana (earlier vintages also had Chardonnay in them). Tergeno is a late harvest style cuvée with a small percentage of late harvested grapes affected by botrytis, which by no means make the wine heavy, but very expressive. Albana is in a class of its own and can be vinified from light and sparkling to dry and residual sweet to Sauternes or TBA style wines. It also does very well with maceration. What I particularly like about it is the texture it offers. And it is exactly this concise texture that the Tergeno shows. There are white flowers here, some anise and actually cardamom, citrus along with peel, substance and a supporting acidity. A good finish with the pears and the freshness together.
