Nice notes, PH. We taste blind once/month and I liked your quick, simple summary. I'm gonna do that moving forward.
At first, I tried taking notes, but it was too much of a hassle.

2006 Borie la Vitarele "Les Cres", Saint-Chinian
Drinking well now, the wine displays a broad scenery between spicy Syrah and dark fruits of Mourvèdre, on a mineral background.
Saint-Chinian and notably Domaine Borie la Vitarele has become my favourite Languedoc.

2007 Schafer Frohlich Naha Bockenauer Felseneck Spatlese
Last night with some excellent Szechuan food, 2001 Fritz Haag Riesling Auslese Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Goldkapsel #12; this is outstanding, light in texture but still intense, citrus, apricot/peach, green apple and honey, great acidity, very long finish. I have one more bottle that I might leave for a year or twenty; this is going to live for many years yet, wonderful Riesling. I think this would show even better with some good cheese rather than the spicy food we had with it.
Tonight, taking to dinner a 2001 Les Cailloux Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire, which I last had 4 years ago; we'll see whether it's completely open yet.

1994 C.V.N.E Imperial Rioja
2009 Calera de Villiers Pinot Noir
Interesting, but unbalanced. The fruit is getting lost in the darker tones of stewed prunes, earth and tar.

2003 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret CdP Cuvee Exceptionelle.
2009 Hall Merlot Napa Valley.
2001 Domaine Font de Michelle CdP Etienne Gonnet - an excellent CdP, give it some air, complex nose of star anise and strawberries then raw steaks and soy, a little chewy with bright red fruit and acidity, spicy finish.

2009 Willakenzie Estate Pinot Noir Emery
Very nice but young and primal. Although not a long lived vintage, I am finding that most 09 Willamette PNs will require a little patience to reach peak drinking window.
