Exactly how I like my rieslings. Mosel and trocken. Tart and mineraly, underripe stone fruits with a subtle hint of sweetness at the end. — 4 days ago

Oh, what a delight. Surprising effervescence initially, med+ acidity leading into med- body and sweetness. Still sweeter than I expected or would like from a kabinett, though. Bright, clean, plump stone fruits all the way through with a hint of citrus initially. Similarly fresh on the nose. — 2 months ago

Nice bright fruit flavors, some acidity without being overpowering, rounded instead of sharp, good body, low minerality. — 4 months ago

Good alvarinhos always take me by surprise. Green apple and pear up front, followed by a pleasing natural sweetness of ripe peach and nectarines. Smooth all the way through.

This one is absolutely lovely. — 18 days ago

Laplace Madiran 100% tannat, 2022 vintage. High tannins, med+ body, med+ acidity. Tannins are really grippy, med grain. Bright, red fruits, hint of rubber on the back of the palate. not really much notable otherwise beyond the tannins. Was the most full bodied thing at Sauced. It's passable. — 6 months ago

This is a very mid Cote du Rhone and I regret using my coravin on it. Bitter up front, the black fruits hiding in the back. I suppose some people might say this is florality, but it tastes like grass to me. — 2 months ago

Bright, high acidity, med+ body that stretches a while. Funk, a strong flavor of potting soil, med+ body. It smoothens out a lot after breathing, and is less harsh. — 4 months ago

Strong musk and forest on the nose. Bramble, dark fruits, and a hint of red fruits on the forward palate. Forest floor/wet fruit and mild gasoline/rubber on the mid and end palate. Smooth low-med tannins, full-minus body. Bright med+ acidity. Needs to decant and breathe before drinking. — 4 months ago
