Wine vintage rating 1991
1991 very variable wine year with ups and downs In Bordeaux on 21.04. too much frost - fortunately not everywhere - but at Château Cheval Blanc 95% of the shoots froze. This was followed by a hot, perfect summer and, as a final counterpoint, September storms. The grape varieties in Bordeaux ripen at different speeds. In Saint Emilion and Pomerol, Merlot was harvested two weeks before Cabernet Franc.

Good filling levels, good wine quality
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.
But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.
A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.
The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

Dolcetto possesses thirteen Denominations in Piedmont and, among these, Dolcetto d’Alba is the best known. Dolcetto region can be divided roughly into two wide strips: one stretching towards Barolo and the other running from Alba towards the Belbo Valley, where a particular terroir produces very fine and light Dolcettos. In the High Langa (Alta Langa) region, production continues until Cortemilia where the vine was once widely cultivated along stone terraces. The name of Dolcetto seems to indicate a sweet wine when precisely the opposite is true.

The strange name of the Wasseros vineyard plot refers to spring areas that emerge from the ground in many places. Such places were referred to as water horses in old cadastral locations as early as 1610 and gave this area in Kiedrich its name. The vines in this first Lage (1er Cru) in the VdP grow on shallow and stony soils that are permeated with loess and loess loam. This produces delicate Rieslings with a mineral acidity, which exhibit a beautiful harmony even as young wines.

Century-old vines still exist in many regional vineyards and allow for the production of long-aging, robust red wines with intense fruit and enhanced tannic content.

Nebbiolo is a red Italian wine grape variety predominantly associated with the Piedmont region where it makes the wines of Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo and Gattinara. Nebbiolo is thought to derive its name from the Italian word nebbia which means fog. Nebbiolo does not adapt exceptionally well to various vineyard soil types, preferring soils with high concentration of calcareous marl such as those found on the right bank of the Tanaro river around Alba where the finest Barolo and Barbaresco are produced.

The Pfaffenwies vineyard is adjacent to Assmannshausen. It was first mentioned in a document in 1211 after Pastor (Pfaffen) Dydo, the son of the knight Nikolaus von Scharfenstein. The location is characterized by the moist warmth of the Rhine, shallow, stony Hunsrück slate and Taunus quartzite soils on the steep slopes and deep loess in the flat part. The top quality ‘ice wine’ is made from fully ripe grapes in which the berries' ingredients are concentrated by freezing, i.e. the temperature in the vineyard must be at least -7°C when the grapes are harvested. Only the inner, very sugary and aromatic concentrate is pressed out.

Arnaud III de Pontac, a leading nobleman and the first president of the regional parliament- who insisted that the red wine from his family's estate, located in Pessac, was an unique, that didn't had sold to négociants, who then blended it with other wines. Starting in 1660, he demanded a premium price for a wine with a name that no one beyond Bordeaux knew- "Haut- Brion", his family estate. After all, he sent his son to London five years later to open a tavern, where his wines were sold so exclusively and at quite steep prices. The vineyard of Château Haut Brion is planted to 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. The high Merlot content, compared to the Médoc First Growths, gives the wine a voluptuous edge, but does not in any way detract from its ability to age. Haut Brion was purchased by the American financier and politician Clarence Dougless Dillion in 1935. His granddaughter still owns and operates Haut-Brion to this day.
