Second time I taste the Latour Martillac 1955, and this time much more interesting. This is not your everyday white, this is a dry Bordeaux but made from semillion with quite some sweetness. The sweetness has kept this wine balanced for 56 years, and where a lot of other white Bordeaux fall appart, …
Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Spätlese 1999 #14 MG
The 1999 auktion Spätlese is a very drinkable wine. Quite open bouquet with some mature notes. On the palate quite rich and sweet, but lacking some grip and backbone. The 1999 vintage is soft with quite low acidity in Mosel. A fine effort from Haag, but the great 1999 vines comes from …
