Flinty, minerally, salty. Needs more time but a very fine Riesling with a long burn — 4 months ago

Simply Selosse. Oxidized style, Asian pear and citrus. Long burn with multiple layers. — 2 years ago

A clear example of why I think that a les Suchots from the best producers is just as good a “grand” cru as its famous neighbors of across the little street. Yammy Bing cherries, full bodied, long burn. Simply delicious in a year that drinks beautifully now but can age as well. — 3 years ago

1978 Chuck Hope left beverage job, moved to Paso Robles, became farmer, & top grape grower. Working with his father, Austin led family into winemaking in ‘95, creating his label in 2000. Grapes from 5 small blocks of Paso Robles AVAs, aged in 75% new French oak, 18 mos. Dark Ruby, aromas of sweet ripe black fruits & dried smoky spices. Flavors of ripe blackberry, sweet cacao, espresso & vanilla oak. Big wine, fine tannins that needed 45 minutes, long fruit finish. The 15% ABV, slight burn, but ok. Nice! — 4 years ago

Honey, port wine on the nose with a silky mouthfeel and perfect viscosity. The finish has a burn which is perfect not soft like an aberlour and it’s not sweet either. Masterpiece! — 3 years ago

Stunning Clos de la Roche. Very fruit forward, years to go but absolutely delicious now. Black fruit and 🍒, highly perfumed. Nice acidity and salinity. Amazing burn. One of the best I have ever tasted and ready quite early. — 6 months ago

Color of dark purple. Nose of woody barrel, dark fruits, strength of alcohol, and more oaky note. Taste is smooth and sweet, low tannins, with slightly burn maybe due to being aged in oak barrel. Some more grapefruit, acidity, cocoa, spicy alcohol and sweet ripe fruits in the 2nd sip. Aftertaste definitely shows some warmth in the throat. Quite tasty at this price range. — 2 years ago

Quite a bit of weight but that is Le Moine. Close to a super Volnay but it is Pommard. Red currants, saline, high minerality and super long burn. Wow. — 4 years ago
