1994 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese, Gunther Fehres
Cambridge Wine. A-
Very floral, citrus, candied orange peel, some petrol and kerosene; lifted nose, delicate yet very expressive. Palate still shows fresh acidity, plenty of citrus fruits, sugar is not that high, perhaps 30g/l or so; enjoyable on its own or with food. So vibrant but very nimble. Lingers nicely.
2007 Dona Paula 'Alluvia Series' Cabernet Franc, Mendoza
Oddbins. B+(+)
Quite floral, some dark damsons; dark blueberry and blackberry, cassis; sweet spices, maybe clove and nutmeg, some woody tones. Plenty of depth and body there, refreshing acidity still; big wine, a lot of extracted dark fruits; the 14% abv can be felt. Finishes with a rather woody, green note.
