Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:16 am
A couple of new wines from Jojo's shop
Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett 2011 - A Kabinett that tastes like a Kabinett. Not overly sweet. Very fine, light. Lots of mineral with a tiny hint of smoky flint. Peach, green apple, apple skins texture. Great complexity on the finish. Starts with lemon rind but builds up in intensity to orange marmalade. Possibly the best Kabinett I've ever had.

Roberto Voerzio Barolo Cerequio 2006 - Decanted two and a half hours. Very dark. A touch musty at the beginning but it blew off. Very oaky and tannic despite the decanting. Too tight to get a good read on it. Prune, coffee and a bit of earth, mostly. Needs a very long decanting time or many more years in the bottle to be ready.

No price yet for the Voerzio but the Egon Muller is P 3350.00 (USD 81.00).
