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. — 5 months ago
Exactly how I like my rieslings. Mosel and trocken. Tart and mineraly, underripe stone fruits with a subtle hint of sweetness at the end. — 24 days 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

Nice bright fruit flavors, some acidity without being overpowering, rounded instead of sharp, good body, low minerality. — 5 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. — a month 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. — 3 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. — 5 months ago

A delightful one I wouldn't normally have picked up. High acidity, underripe stone fruits with mature, ripened lemon notes. Nice long tail for a white, and good complexity of flavor (dry wild herbs) at the end. I liked this more than I expected. — 2 days ago
