2013 Christophe Pichon, Cote Rotie, Promesse 12x75cl
"A classic Côte Rôtie, the 2013 Côte Rôtie Promesse checks in as a blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier, completely destemmed, and spent 14 months in one-year-old barrels before bottling. While... there’s only 200 cases or so of the top La Comtesse en Côte Blonde, there’s over a thousand cases of this beauty, so it should be easier to find. Offering textbook black raspberry, violets, bay leaf and raspberry notes, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, fine tannin and a sexy, forward, elegant and already hard to resist profile. I’d happily drink it anytime over the coming decade." 90 points, The Wine Advocate

2015 Domdechant Werner, Hochheimer Domdechaney Riesling Auslese, Rheingau 6x75cl
"Opening with concentrated and ripe fruit as well as honey flavors on the nose, the 2015 Rheingau Riesling Hochheimer Domdechaney Auslese is a lush, generous and piquant though not very precise or... stimulating Auslese. It is very sweet and shows piquancy and grip but doesn't have the precision and elegance found in the finest Auslesen." 90 pts., Stephane Rheinhardt, robertparker.com
