Basic Haut-Medoc with all the usual suspects. Strong notes of camphor and young tannins a bit off-putting. A bit young - best to wait.

2015 Wehlener Sonnenhur - GG Riesling - Alte Reben. Dry. LOVELY, round, polished, creamy, unlike any German riesling I have had so far. Lovely, lovely wine. All the usual VS components - delicate, floral, fruit and minerals - but also polished, smooth and creamy complexity. — 7 years ago

Interesting Cabernet blend from Majorca, with two indigenous grapes. Big and broad-shouldered and a bit rustic. Maybe a bit closed as well. Would like to revisit in a couple of years. But still quite good now.

Lovely and well structured Saint-Emilion in great year. Everything is here and in place. Dark black fruits, plum, berries, black cherries and touches of smoke, tar and cassis. Lovely violets on the nose with hints of spice and minerals of the palate. Smooth tannins. Ready now - I doubt this will develop substantially going forward - so enjoy while everything is so beautifully integrated. — 7 years ago
Lovely Cabernet. Big, but has everything in a superb balance and integration. Usual suspect black and red fruits, with menthol, mint, minerals, gingerbread, floral notes, — 7 years ago
Superb wine for the sub-$15 price. Parker 92 and I have to agree. Lovely and with a lot of lift and freshness, but very good weight and substance to balance. Has everything - big fruit, spice, herbs, floral notes, earth, and all well balanced and integrated. Excellent. — 7 years ago
Pleasant and well-aged at this point. Something like a Bordeaux. But the fruit did not get especially ripe, so there is not a lot going on here. — 7 years ago
Nice, lovely Margaux - not life-changing, but good. — 7 years ago

Lovely and broadly structured with a viscous mouth-feel. Lots of peach with citrus, red grapefruit, slate and spice on the palate and a long finish. Excellent Rheingau Riesling. — 7 years ago
