Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Riesling 1972
Amazing freshness, tasting a lot more Spatelese than Kab. Lots of still-pristine, but very concentrated white stone fruit, sweet Thai basil and Phô greens play together with this nougat-esque nutty quality. Jasmine-lemon custard. White tea jelly. Suggestions of cold-smoked meatiness abide, but are never aggressively realized. Zero botrytis. I wish everything from the 90s I tasted was half as pristine as this. Lord knows how aggressively it might have been sulphured, but if this is wrong, I don't want to be right. — 9 years ago

Okay. Cool. In the Wachau, doesn't abide by the Vinea Wachau Codex re ripeness designation (ie Federspiel, Smaragd). Buying abandoned vineyards. Fascinating. Can't wait to visit next June. — 11 years ago

👃 Best leave to sekkle a min. Opens into a dill drop. Hold the pickle. Can’t usually abide the idiot herb but it just works. Warm mountain herbs and sun baked rocks🌞🌿🏔 Cold wet coffee grinds 🥶 in a pipe pouch.
👄 red berry burst 💦

Really solid, robust wine. #somewhatbuttery Tasted more expensive than I can usually abide. Thank you to Manders McSchmidtBurton. — 9 years ago
Quinta do Perdigão
Dão Touriga-Nacional Rosé Blend 2013
The bird is the word. One of the best wines I've had from Portugal. Definitely almost a light red. Pretty, juicy damson plum, pomegranate and raspberry purée notes are overlaid with pink rose and violet florals. Herbal sage and coriander notes add depth. General crunchiness and sapidity abide. So drinkable and complex, especially for the price. I foresee a lot of this in my future. What I've always been looking for in Portugal: their answer to Beaujolais. — 10 years ago

The 2013 Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, picked from 5 October according to Pierre Labet, has a fragrant bouquet, fresher than many other tasted, pure raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, nicely integrated oak. The palate is less rustic than many others, finely balanced, with moderate depth and just a bit of hardness on the finish that one can easily abide. Lovely, though would I cellar long-term? Probably no. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2023)
