Very drinkable. — 5 years ago
Hazelnuts and cordial cherry. AN interesting nose, that seems to grow bolder as it opens.
Top medium to heavy weighted, with red fruit seeds and pithe, dried persimmons, Hawaiian Christmas pepper, astringent tannins, mingled with a long lasting salinity.
A lovely, bold wine, and a wonderful way to celebrate our 7minutes left sojourn from the escape room earlier today. — 5 years ago

After a disappointing evening wine wise the Germans don’t disappoint.
Nose is deep dense blackberries. Some earth. After 30 minutes it gets some crazy savory depth.
Palate is dense blackberries. Some licorice. Round and a brilliant food wine. Very good deliciousness. After 30 minutes more serious. 1er cru serious. More dense. Gods licorice. Longer.
German pinot is the escape hatch for people priced out of burgundy. Don’t look back.
FWIW I’m having with veal tongue with shallots in a basilicata pepper white wine butter sauce.

Really good from Prospect, sat on fire escape Friday night in May — 6 years ago
A beautiful, cool early Autumn evening, relaxing by a fire in the chiminea.
100% Pinot Noir, Disgorged February 2019.
Words escape me... Just wow!
(Notes later, I promise)
24 Hour Update:
Nose has yeasted dough, flat seltzer, limestone infused apple juice, hard crusted bread, oxidized red apple peel and bruised yellow apple.
Palate has tart yellow apple, saline puff pastry, faint lemon juice, limestone infused water, lemon zest with balanced acidity and a long, long finish. Outstanding.
The P-F wines always need a minimum of 24H open, 48H really if you have patience because then they open to just the most beautiful Champagne you've ever paid under $100 for, every time. No fear, the bubbles will wait over 48H so plan ahead for maximum enjoyment. — 4 years ago

Ripe blackberry, bbq spice rub bouquet. Blackberry, black cherry, cinnamon nutmeg and black pepper, medium weight wine with lingering grip of tannins. Nice value for a canned wine, probably would go well with most foods — 5 years ago

Some say Aligote is the red headed varietal from Burgundy, rare and exotic, to the daring! And I’m daring, this is my first time trying it. Pale yellow to the eye. The nose is very floral and perfumed plus yellow apple and white peach and fresh green herbs and smoke tertiary scents. The pallet is very clean with green apple, umami and a slightly smoky finish; it is bone dry, light bodied, with bright acidity, no tannings and low alcohol. What can I say? The most interesting white wine I’ve had in twenty twenty one . Oh! And I’m a sucker for red…
Paired with pan seared scallops on a bed of cauliflower purée topped with blacked truffle and wasabi mustard micro greens. The paring? Well, as close as you can get to magical. Also works wonders with smoked oyster flammkuchen. Cheers. — 3 years ago
