2005 Clos Salomon Givry 1er Cru
Crisp fragrant perfumed and polished fruit. I know now is probably not ‘the’ time to be drinking these (here creeps the structure!) but the perfume is fun for a bit. I survived.

2002 Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca
I don’t drink much Soave so this was fun. It was golden brown and tilting oxidative so our waiter felt the need to pronounce it too old and going downhill. ...

I'm no expert but from my limited experience Karlsmuhle wines tend to have less depth and less complexity than Grunhaus and Karthauserfof, my two Ruwer stars. But they can still be fun.

Nice buy. I too would have bought as much as possible at that price.
