LACOSTE BORIE du Château Grand Puy Lacoste Pauillac 2018
The 2018 Lacoste-Borie was picked September 21 to October 5 at 44hl/ha. It has a pleasant bouquet of blackberry, iodine and violet aromas, perhaps needing just a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-tinged entry. Supple and quite approachable, this is well-balanced with good acidity and some oakiness on the finish, though this is more likely due to racking several days previous to my visit. Fine, though it will hopefully flesh out a little by bottling time.
RIESLING Ried Kögl Salomon Undhof 2023
The 2023 Riesling Kögl grows in mica schist and gneiss on terraces from vines between 50 and 70 years old. This was harvested in late October, whole-bunch-pressed and fermented in stainless steel. Gentle mandarin juiciness defines the nose with just a frisson of crushed citrus foliage adding an aromatic highlight. The palate is ripe with citrus, smooth, juicy, fresh. This Riesling depicts the ripe, juicy, orange-colored spectrum of citrus, bright, stony and supremely juicy. (Dry)
