Vintage 2012 | So nice I put this away in the corner of the cellar. A kabinett at 13 y can become awesome: buttery minerality and an amazing sweet/acidity balance. Ultimate summerwine. — 2 days ago

Vintage 2019 | Did not meet my expectations. I decanted halve the bottle via a stainless steel funnel to taste blind with winefriends and that part of the bottle became strange: smell of steel, olives, less fruit. Not pleasant. Halve the bottle at home was adequate: nice red fruit, medium concentration, pleasant, not great. The home bottle would be 8,9. — 2 days ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, I have very fond memories of drinking various vintages of this wine in the late 1980s/early 1990s, purchased from Kermit Lynch’s shop in Berkeley. A great match with this wine is to cut a Cavoillon (sp?) melon in half, clean out the seeds, and pour the wine into the cavity — I also have fond memories of being served this combination in the southern Rhône in the summer, absolutely wonderful!!

NV | ETKO Brewery Helsinki Finland | barrel aged imperial stout | abv 12 | 12 months barrel aging in rye whiskey barrels | by far the most special stout I ever drank - a gift of friend Ron. Thick viscosity, like motor oil. This is drinking and eating at the same time. A combination of Bounty chocolate, a Sachertorte and a Magnum icecream. — 4 days ago
