Super fresh and youthful Russian River Gewurz, great acidity, some evolution in the fruit character, spicy notes, lingering finish, this bottle is defying time at age 20!! — 16 hours ago

Pegau CdP is always so great, rich Grenache w/dense, ripe redfruits, this 2000 CdP is more fruit forward than the more structured 2001 Vieux Donjon, both wines are outstanding, these 2 wines really well illustrate the 2000 vs. 2001 CdP vintage differences!! — 3 days ago

[8 hour decant] This vintage Porto is in a really good place at age 29, sweet toffee and black-fruited aromas and flavors, solid weight and balance, lingering finish, just a little spirit shows very late, very good!! — 5 days ago

Absolutely terrific Bourgogne Blanc, super clean and crisp, it just smells and tastes like white Burgundy (IYKYK), should easily develop further for 2-3 or more years, while a “basic” Bourgogne, this really has class, glad I bought multiple bottles!! — 2 days ago
