Lot # <strong>Wine</strong> Year M D Comment<br />
4408 Les Boisières, Terroirs de Talents, 2007 9 9 Drink now.<br />
AOC Côtes du Rhône, Selection Corsée<br />
4409 Domaine de Montbayon, 2007 6 7 Forward and easy in the mouth. No problem to keep for<br />
AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages another year or two.<br />
4410 Vacqueyras, AOC Vacqueyras, 2005 8 9 Now it is soft, easy and attractively ready.<br />
Jérôme Seguin<br />
4411 Les Lavandines, AOC Côtes du Ventoux 2007 9 9 Still drinking well, although it should be finished before the<br />
end of the year.<br />
4412 La Haute Brulière, 2007 9 9 Ready. Easy and not likely to get any better than now.<br />
AOC Côtes du Luberon<br />
Cellar Offering 180<br />
4413 “K7” Cuvée, Qualitätswein, Burgenland 2006 8 8 An amazingly good red wine blend. Good structure.<br />
Fine harmony. Plenty of fruit. A really good surprise.<br />
4414 Grüner Veltliner, Qualitätswein, 2007 8 9 What an enigma – it is either a wine to be drunk within<br />
Neusiedlersee months of bottling or it can be put aside. On balance, it would<br />
be best to finish this during <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
4415 Pinot Blanc, Qualitätswein, Burgenland 2007 10 10 Hopefully there is very little of this left. It has already passed<br />
“Go”.<br />
4416 Riesling, Qualitätswein, Burgenland 2007 8 8 Fresh. Clean. Not very much flavour, but it is pure and<br />
practically dry.<br />
4417 Trockenbeerenauslese, Neusiedlersee 2006 5 8 At a rough estimate, this has about 48 years to go.<br />
4418 Rosé Cèléste, Qualitätswein, Burgenland 2007 10 10 Hope there is none of this left. It should have been opened<br />
last year.<br />
4419 Pinot Noir, Qualitätswein, Burgenland 2004 10 10 Matured quite quickly once the freshness declined. Enjoy now.<br />
4420 Ruppertsberger Hofstück, 2007 6 7 Like many Gewürztraminer wines, it is taking a long time to<br />
Gewürztraminer Kabinett develop. However, it is lovely and can well be opened during<br />
the coming year.<br />
4421 Ruppertsberger Nussbien, 2007 9 9 Perfect for today and for two or three more years.<br />
Riesling Kabinett<br />
4422 Gimmeldinger Meerspinne, 2007 8 8 Has not yet reached maturity, but will be at its most<br />
Riesling Spätlese vigorous this year.<br />
4423 Ruppertsberger Nussbien, 2007 8 8 Still shows youthful colour and little sign of ageing.<br />
Riesling Kabinett Very good now<br />
4424 Rüdesheimer Riesling Kabinett, 2007 8 8 Better to be enjoyed during <strong>2010</strong>/ 2011.<br />
Blue Label<br />
4425 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling, 2007 8 8 It is only through an annual review that one notes how slowly<br />
Hochgewächs these fine German wines progress. This is superb now.<br />
4426 Bernkasteler Badstube, 2007 7 8 Simply lovely, elegant and mild. Charming balance.<br />
Riesling Auslese, Estate Bottled<br />
4427 Ruppertsberger Linsenbusch, 2001 7 9 Fabulous, quite exceptional.<br />
Weissburgunder Beerenauslese<br />
4428 Semeli White, Attika TO 2007 10 10<br />
4429 Thyoni, Mantineia OPAP 2007 10 10 Ready now.<br />
4430 Orinos Helios, Nemea 2005 8 8 Good wine. The bouquet has grown steadily and in the palate<br />
it is sumptuously rich. Ready now.<br />
4431 Moscofilero White, 2007 10 10 As a fledgling, this was one of the most exciting wines of<br />
Vin de Pays du Peloponnese the year. Still good, but the vivid freshness has dimmed. Drink<br />
this year.<br />
4432 Saint George Nemea, AOC Nemea 2006 7 7 Approachable now, but will develop with time.<br />
