While a year older than the 2022, this is less ripe (12.5% bs. 13% for the 2022) and this shows more crisp and also more spicy, long finish, really a classic Alsatian Pinot Blanc for me!! — 16 days ago

9.2

Just a lovely, complex Sylvaner, great acidity, some nice slight honeyed notes to the layered fruit, even though this cannot have Grand Cru on the label because the grape is Sylvaner, the juice is from fruit grown on Zinnkoepfle, a Grand Cru vineyard that Agathe farms. — 5 months ago

Super floral and mineral aromas and flavors, great acidity in 2021 gives this a lot of crispness and freshness, also quite dry in 2021, long, lingering finish, excellent Alsatian Muscat! — a month ago

Lovely spicy aromatics where the spice note carries onto the palate, great Sylvaner is so darn good, and Agathe makes this and also her “Eminence” from fruit grown on the Grand Cru “Zinnkoepfle”, both of which are excellent, year-in, year-out, long finish, very fine!! — 3 months ago

Floral, red fruits, still a bit structured and tannic, lovely balance, long, lingering finish, needs further cellaring, should work great with grilled wild Puget Sound salmon!! — 3 months ago

9.1

Tressailler aka Sacy is a vine which was praised 3 or 4 centuries ago, given the ability of the wine to travel long distances (not becoming vinegar on the way) thanks to its natural level of acidity. Acidity is kept under control for this one, with all its character and flavours blending into a perfect balance. — 5 months ago

Petrol/diesel aromas up front, also some floral notes as well, medium-bodied, this still needs more cellaring, very good Alsatian Riesling! — a year ago
