The Bourgogne Blanc from Vogue is surpisingly good in 2009. The bouquet is showing fine exotic fruits but also a good focus with a fine minerality. On the palate surprisingly good acidity and freshness for a 2009. Good balance with a fine quite elegant fruit. A very good effort in 2009, where a lot …

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 …

Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Vosne Romanee 2008
The village Vosne Romanee 2008 is a very good effort from Meo. Slightly closed - but some red pinot fruit in the bouquet. The oak is very well integrated in the fruit. On the palate very fine balance, with ripe red fruit. Quite fat for a 2008. This is not a typical Meo wine, with it's red fruits …
