CLOS SAINT DENIS Grand Cru Domaine Stéphane Magnien 2018
The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has quite an intense bouquet with red berry fruit, touches of blackcurrant, pain d'épice and sous-bois. This seems to grow and deepen in the glass, developing some unnecessary headiness and then, as if skulking from out of a darkened corner, noticeable and sadly compromising Brettanomyces. The palate is medium-bodied with quite thick and dense tannins. Backward and rather surly, this is a serious Clos Saint-Denis, more dark than light, with some dryness and austerity on the finish. Like reading Dostoevsky when you just want a simple page-turner. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
Laumersheimer Kapellenberg Riesling TBA, Knipser, Pfalz - Half 2003
Packed full of delicious ripe Riesling fruit, pineapples, oranges and tropical fruit all vie for your attention. The finish is long, well balanced and honeyed.
