Reichsgraf Von Kesselstadt, rolls off the tongue like music. This is classic Mosel, peach, apricot, wet stone, blistering acidity and just enough sweetness to make you think "screw dessert, I'm drinking this for dessert". — 9 years ago

Not sure how spell check turned juiciness to hi input. Spanish juiciness, OK?

8.5

Not sure that's the right description for this wine. Label says 13.8, might believe 15.8. This wine is big extract, big tannin, big alcohol and relatively under evolved despite 14 years bottle age. Nice but a bit one deminsional. — 10 years ago

Bought at the winery in Cassis. Blend of Syrah and caladoc Can find no info on caladoc but winery told us it is hybrid of Grenache and cinsaut. Brownie batter chocolatey, soft tannins, good acidity. Pairs well with barely cooked ribeye. — 10 years ago

Lovely reminder of our visit to Cassis and Bandol. Deep fruit with apparent but soft tannins. Spicy chocolate, intense color, juicy finish. Nice with a well seasoned steak. Yum!
