He is a brilliant winemaker and one of the most ch He is a brilliant winemaker and one of the most charming wine ambassadors on the planet: Peter Gago. So great that he spent the day in Berlin with us! Full insight and the top wines from Penfolds Collection 2023 in FINE – Das Weinmagazin 4/2023.

The Penfolds Collection contains some masterpieces The Penfolds Collection contains some masterpieces of modern winemaking, not only from Australia, but also from Bordeaux and California. The special surprise: CWT 521, the Chinese Wine Trial, the first bottle Peter Gago has opened in Europe - and only one of five destined for the continent. 😮 The article about Penfolds, Peter Gago and the Collection 2023 can be found in FINE 4/2023.

A lunch with Peter Gago on the occasion of the pre A lunch with Peter Gago on the occasion of the presentation of the Penfolds Collection 2023 for publisher Ralf Frenzel and me at the Berlin Hotel Adlon started with ... a Champagne, of course. Very fresh on the market: Champagne Thiénot x Penfolds Grand Cru 2013 Blanc de Blancs from Avize. Very luxurious texture, not least due to the dosage, matured in barrels for Penfolds Yattarna-Chardonnay. And with this wonderful freshness and acid kick from 2013. Wow, what an entry! The interview with Peter Gago and my reviews of the Collection can be found in FINE 4/2023.

A purist Extra Brut: Champagne Brimancourt comes f A purist Extra Brut: Champagne Brimancourt comes from an old maison in Aÿ that had been dormant since the 1950s but woke up again when Alexandre Cornot took over in 2008. Just 2 grams of residual sugar, exclusively from grapes from Grand Cru sites, quite long on the lees - unfortunately without indication of the disgorgement date. One would like to get to know the other wines in the portfolio.

Exactly one week after the end of the tasting for Exactly one week after the end of the tasting for the URSUS FINE RIESLING LIST, I sent my article to the editors of FINE - Das Weinmagazin. It was a hell of a job. In Hattenheim, as a reward for the tasters, there was this beautiful magnum of Krug Grande Cuvée Édition 166 (thanks to @ursus_wineries). What I'm about to open now I don't really know yet ... 🥂

The wine cellar of the Gasthaus Krug in Hattenheim The wine cellar of the Gasthaus Krug in Hattenheim is a beacon of German Riesling culture and holds great treasures. From the great 1975 vintage came this wonderfully delicate, elegant Spätlese from the no longer existing Schloss Groenesteyn winery in the Rheingau. Thank you Nishi! @mrnishi

Before the "Trockenwelle", Riesling was mainly fam Before the "Trockenwelle", Riesling was mainly famous for its noble sweet wines. The Bähr family, owners of the wine shop URSUS Wineries @ursus_wineries, generously opened this 1976 Beerenauslese from the Rauenthaler Baiken of the Staatsweingüter Kloster Eberbach. Very lush, with enormous sweetness and low acidity due to the vintage.

Without the pioneers who revived dry German Riesli Without the pioneers who revived dry German Riesling in the early 1980s, the German Weinwunder and also the URSUS FINE RIESLING LIST would not be possible. One of the pioneers was Geheimrat "J", at the time a dry Spätlese from the Rheingau region from Weingut Wegeler. Last year, its creator Norbert Holderrieth died, but today Ralf Frenzel and his team at Wegeler are continuing his legacy. The 1985 Geheimrat "J" presented itself in the Hattenheimer Kronenschlösschen with noticeable notes of age, but completely intact.

On the second evening of the URSUS FINE RIESLING L On the second evening of the URSUS FINE RIESLING LIST wine tasting, we were invited by the Wegeler winery in the Rheingau. At the end there were great sweet Riesling Spätlese and Auslese from the Mosel and from the Rheingau. My favorite: a 2007 Spätlese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr because of the fantastic balance of acidity and sweetness.

A consistently high level up to world class! The results can be found in my article in the September issue of FINE - Das Weinmagazin.

Among many strong wines, this pair was the highlig Among many strong wines, this pair was the highlight of the evening: Château Pavie 1926. Unfortunately, one bottle was already very worn and only of "antiquarian interest". The second showed a stable colour, a bouquet of dry herbs, some blood, rust and a hint of lovage. On the palate with an intact structure and pronounced acidity.

Ivoire & Èbene is a Cuvée made by Champagne Aubr Ivoire & Èbene is a Cuvée made by Champagne Aubry from a Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier from the same plot in Jouy-lès-Reims, but vinified separately in wood and reassembled only before fermentation in the bottle. Also because of the vintage 2002, I recently purchased the bottle at auction and drank it over the weekend. The wine was well aged, very vinous and somewhat exotic, with only a little mousse. A nice but not great Champagne that no longer improves. 🥂

The joys of late summer ... A Rauenthaler Siebenmo The joys of late summer ... A Rauenthaler Siebenmorgen Riesling 1966 from the Schloss Eltz vineyard, my birth year ... Today, neither the once legendary Schloss Eltz winery nor the Siebenmorgen site designation exist, having been absorbed into the Rauenthaler Wülfen after land consolidation in 1971. A completely intact, magical wine in which a surprisingly high residual sweetness (the wine has no predicate!) and an intense acidity unite almost painfully.
🥂🍄

Vintage malts from major distilleries were always Vintage malts from major distilleries were always rare, but not prohibitively so in the past. Unfortunately, that has changed completely. 1984 Signatory Vintage from Caol Ila was bottled in 2002 - and a few years later bought by a friend at a reasonable price via auction. At first almost delicate and very light in color, quickly unfolds a lot of pressure. Wonderful, great stuff!

Autumn is casting its shadow ahead. So it's time t Autumn is casting its shadow ahead. So it's time to warm up with some red wine. Two nice Cru Bourgeois from this week: Château Bellevue de Tayac 2016 from Margaux was already quite ripe. While Château Pibran from Pauillac from the actually weaker 2017 seemed much more balanced. Perhaps this is because it is prepared by the Chateau Pichon Baron team, the famous 2ième Cru Classé. 🍷

1966 Wachenheimer Gerümpel Riesling Beerenauslese 1966 Wachenheimer Gerümpel Riesling Beerenauslese by Bürklin-Wolf ... Indeed, it is the wine in the glass you see here. Reminded of an old Pedro Ximénez from Jerez, dried figs, sultanas, dates, some medicine. Actually, you can only drink it by the teaspoonful. The wine has certainly seen better days, but still impressive.
