Great wines with interesting grape varieties I've been working with:
-Tazzalenghe di Buttrio 1998 from Giralomo Dorigo coming from north Italy Friuli.
After all these years there still is a lot of body in the wine, beautifully ripened but still din't reach it's peak. I remember tasting a sweet wines made from picolit, very interesting flavours, quince and dried peach, aromatic almost muscat like but more body reminds me of viognier mouthwise.
-From Germany's Württenberg Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Oehringen: Samtrot Auslese Trocken 1997
Lightbodied, delicate pinotesk like with a hint of sweet spices and dried herbes.
Wich is more than normal there Samtrot is derived from the Pinot Meunier grape.
It did reach its peak but a fantastic glas of wine to start of a fine diner.
Fürst zu blablabla carries an interesting range of red wines made of less frequent used grapes such as: muskattrolinger, lemberger, schwarzriesling (wich is eventually pinot meunier where samtrot is derived from), dornfeller (more sturdy and richer).
All in all heavy but delicate wines each one of them with great aging potentials.
