Georges Duboeuf Fleurie Quatre Vents
The Duboeuf 2009 Fleurie Clos des Quatre Vents tasted from tank; and as usual, a cuvee from old vines treated to long, cool fermentation displays ripe blackberry and blueberry, ocean breeze, black tea, borage, and bittersweet iris perfume in the nose. Silken and expansive on the palate, this is a little less intriguing but even more generous than the corresponding Fleurie Grand Pre, finishing with soothing yet stimulating length, and likely to be worth following for 3-4 years. A very ripe and concentrated but awkwardly woody Prestige bottling of Fleurie did not give me much hope for its post-bottling evolution. 90-91 Points Wine Advocate

Domaine de Andezon Cotes Du Rhone
Violet in color. The Syrah offers a lot of aromas on the nose including black fruit. The mouth is prevalent with spices of licorice and black olive with minerality, especially graphite and soot. Drink in 3-4 years as this mouthfeel will continue to develop over time bringing more complexity and power. Pairs well with hearty meats, such as game.

Kung Fu Girl Riesling
Delectable scents of basswood (Germans would say 'linden flower') mingle with honeydew melon, white peach, and lime that go on to render the palate sorbet-like in its combination of succulent richness and sheer cooling refreshment. The balance of acidity and sweetness (from 18 grams of residual sugar) is perfectly judged to support the aforementioned impression and - with the help of a lick of salt, mineral dust, and citrus zests - advances an invigorating, ultra-luscious and lip-smackingly lingering finish. 90 Points Wine Advocate
